Arnette’s Uncommon Projects division features signature pieces that tell a unique story, commemorate a partnership or reflect the personal style of one of the company’s notable athletes. The Del x Arnette Uncommon Projects goggle is dropping on the heels of Arnette’s first Uncommon Projects release for the Team Captain of Arnette’s Global Pro Snowboard Team, Devun Walsh. “Del has been a part of the Arnette family for a long time and he has a serious fan base in the world of snowboarding. There’s no better way to celebrate all of that than with a signature goggle color. The colorway had to meet the highest possible funk-standards, so we developed a graphic that was inspired by some of his early album art, complete with Hiero logo repeat pattern and strap patch," stated Arnette’s Global Brand Director, Joe Freitag. The The Del x Arnette Uncommon Projects Series 3 is shipping right now to elite snowboard shops across the world.
