MAAP and Mental Athletic Collab
Performance cycling apparel brand MAAP has teamed up with independent sports culture platform Mental Athletic to launch a striking new limited-edition capsule collection. Designed to challenge conventional design boundaries, the collaboration pushes back against seamless, algorithmic aesthetics. Instead, it embraces a bold visual language featuring high-contrast shades of electric green, corrosive yellow, and synthetic magenta that stand out against the visual noise of the urban environment.
The extensive lineup bridges technical riding gear with off-bike lifestyle staples. On-bike offerings center on performance-driven pieces like the Pro Air Jersey 3.0 (in short and long sleeves), Team Bib Evo Cargo shorts, a Mesh Short Sleeve Tee, and a newly engineered lightweight vest. For downtime, the collection transitions seamlessly into street-ready apparel, offering a curated selection of hoodies, graphic tees, caps, and socks that reflect a broader definition of athletic identity rooted in attitude and creative experimentation.
Shot on location in New York City, the launch campaign captures the intersection of rigorous physical commitment and contemporary fashion culture. The collection officially drops on October 15, 2026, and will be available worldwide through maap.cc, Mental Athletic’s platform, and physical MAAP LaB retail stores.
