In a world literally obsessed with artifice, I am setting my own path, giving priority to the raw purity of effort rather than the ambient pomp. I am an athlete whose every movement in the arena of competition bears the weight of training, sweat and perseverance. My unshakeable spirit endeavours to go beyond the norm, embracing my uniqueness hidden behind no mask, drawing my strength from my vulnerability.
Forever in search of that very perfection that escapes me, I explore new techniques and methods, pushing my limits, like an athlete seeking to break his or her next record. My quest is, however, not a solitary one. Like an athlete who needs his or her team, I am surrounded by exceptional individuals, aware that together we can reach the impossible.
At every new stage, I commit to surpassing myself, exploring new territories and, above all, being an inspiration. I would like to inspire those who observe me as I pursue their own aspirations, seek their excellence. For if my passion and devotion can succeed in motivating only one person to follow this path, then I feel I have accomplished my mission.
In such a world of distraction, my story serves as a reminder of what real performance is, one that fills one’s soul, ever so genuine, raw and real. Delve into the “Super Self”, the tale of my personal quest, through its challenges, triumphs and heartfelt lessons.
Territories
A first seasonal influence for the Challenger mate. Located at the heart of the Performance experience, our Mate is always looking to do better, to surpass himself according to his own performance standards and references.
Their practice motivations: The Warrior,The Coach, Transform
Like a warrior, they need to demonstrate their strength, to be a winner (The warrior) They fight against themselves.
They like everything to be orchestrated, programmed (The Coach). And to see their bodies transformed and sculpted (Transform).
The design of their products reflects their motivations and emotions: ultra-precise design, with sharp lines and noble finishes, for raw performance.
Their mantra: « stronger than myself ». They always want more, and it’s never enough. Faster, further, stronger… This season, the Challenger Mate returns to continue the Super Self story.
Color mood
Strength and delicacy
The Superself range is without artifice.
The smoky brown nuances come together with a deep purple to express a silent untameable force. Delicate and frosted hues give new impetus to coming out in the open and shining with dignity. The khaki and beige combination reveals the lights and reflections in the pursuit of one’s effort.These tints evoke subtle and elegant performance in the beauty of it all, ever so humbly. Technical harmonies between lights and shadows lead us to a balance between strength and delicacy.
Superself invites us to surpass ourselves with grace and simplicity.
Graphic mood
Symbolic marking
These symbols act as good luck charms. It’s always a question of telling the story of a strong action, of a pivotal moment in the history of my sport through old school graphic treatment. What I want is to affirm my sport identity, hence the life of my community, by “inking” it into myself as deeply as possible, in a precise and detailed engraved style.
Compoment mood
Redifned performance
In Superself, the technical components are simple, calm and elegant. We stress the aesthetics in discreet and regular performance, neither show-offy nor ostentatious.
Simplicity and precision are sought with impeccable, plain-coloured textiles that are ultra smooth and deep, with a velvety touch or with subtle shiny, almost liquid effects.
For indoor practice, we dare use chic and sophisticated components such as micro-lined lightweight cloth or seersucker to which precisely detailed accessories are added, enhanced with dynamic lines for total elegant performance.
The textured ones are ultra matte and delicate, suggesting refined raw materials with crepe, crumpled paper or brushed metal effects.
