Over the course of my life, there are perhaps 7-10 dreams that have rocked my world.

Revisit Graff Tribal 2021 Campaign Lensed by Mikael Jansson with Sara Sampaio

Revisit Graff Tribal 2021 Campaign Lensed by Mikael Jansson with Sara Sampaio

In the campaign marketing text, Graff made a word salad describing Night Moon, Graff Gateway and New Dawn groups in the collection in this way:

“From a poetic spark of inspiration to a magnificent collection of jewels that speak to the soul about the eternal beauty of nature, the Tribal collection captures the essence of what it is to be human.”

These words perhaps better describe modern life in South Africa’s Atlantis Dunes, where extreme adventure sports including sandboarding define the landscape. Had Graff wanted to speak to the Tribal collection’s capturing the essence of what it is to be human”, the campaign would have been shot 15 hours away by car in at the Sterkfontein Caves, at a UNESCO World Heritage site known as the Cradle of Humankind.

Adidas x Daily Paper Ajax Amsterdam Collab Is So Fire

Adidas x Daily Paper Ajax Amsterdam Collab Is So Fire

Question: “Anne, why are you reporting on a soccer swap? You don’t follow soccer. You are playing with our minds, Anne.”

Anne’s Answer: Because AOC loves the Dutch as people, and Amsterdam is a very cool place. I’ve been there several times.

Most important is that Ajax Amsterdam just scored their third collab with Adidas x Daily Paper, and AOC LOVES Daily Paper. If Daily Paper loves Ajax Amsterdam, so do we.

AOC believes in logic . . . just like we believe in science. We are not MAGA insurrectionist Reds. AOC is for Blues.
