Creative Direction and Strategy for the Redline x A$AP Ferg RL275 bike collaboration. This was a passion project for Ferg, he is an avid bike rider and wanted to design a bike that is minimal but uniquely his style. The bike launch was set around the much anticipated release of his new video "Floor Seats", which features Ferg riding the bike around Harlem NYC. Our Redline team collaborated with Ferg's team on the video creative direction and marketing. The Ferg x Redline collection, which included the bike, lock, racing kit and apparel, was dropped at a sold out party at Stadium Goods in New York in tandem with the video. It was truly a pleasure to collaborate with Ferg and his team on this project, and to see the worldwide impact of this partnership.

The inspiration for the Floor Seats video, directed by Valentin Petit, was to give everyone the VIP experience into Ferg's life. It starts with riding through the streets of Harlem on bikes during the day before heading to a house party at night.
