The good Sir Paul Smith has been taking his penchant for color refined with a gentlemanly restrain to the slopes with the help of snowboard gear maker, Burton, since 2005. The English designer has been lending his creative braincells to Burton and the duo’s collaboration had grown from jacket and pants to a collection of apparel as well as a snowboard which is set to drop for this coming snowboard season. The collaborative Paul Smith Vapor snowboard is an exemplification of both labels’ dictum for impeccable shapes and love for colors. On the upper, the snowboard is kept restrained and cool in black, with a pop of color in the channel which allows for use with both the Burton EST and Burton 3D bindings; and on the flip side, things get a little wild as Paul Smith’s iconic rainbow stripes are interlaced with bold Burton logo. The Vapor is a lightweight board which allows for an effortless ride. The snowboard is set to drop later this year, so those who are thinking of upgrading their gear and look, here is a good option to consider before powder season kicks in.
