“We are a great American brand. We don’t envision ourselves as an urban brand or streetwear brand. We wanted to show people how we’ve evolved and repositioned ourselves, without abandoning our original DNA.”
“It’s all walks of life. When I played the Glastonbury music festival people said a hip-hop artist couldn’t play a rock festival. But culture isn’t segmented like that any more. There’s so much cross-pollinization and the same thing is true for clothes.”
The new campaign will show an eclectic mix of people from all backgrounds as poets, artists, musicians, and even a troupe of double-dutchers in 37 short videos, all in hopes of shifting the brand from urban street wear to the mainstream.
In addition to the new campaign, Rocawear is opening a brand showcase pop-up shop in Manhattan where celebrities, bloggers, and radio personalities and students will be filmed, sharing their testimonies of what Rocawear means/meant to them.
