MICHEAL SHELLIS FOR DICKIES
December 13, 2024
We had the honor of being apart of The Red Bull Terminal Takeover this year in New Orleans. Terminal Takeover is an epic weekend of skate, with crews from around the country invited to skate the old MSY Airport. For a third year, the old New Orleans airport was transformed into the ultimate destination for park and street skateboarding. Vacant concourses took on new life as skate runways and old benches got an edgy upgrade. On April 14th and 15th, crews from states across the country met up at the old MSY Terminal for the ultimate skate jam and content session. Politics had the pleasure of creating the clothing capsule this year for the Terminal Takeover. We enjoyed expressing our love for the skate community and city of New Orleans through this clothing capsule and through the events that we put together this weekend with the help of Red Bull. Such as our in store Happy Hour Pop-Up and The Terminal Takeover After Hours Party; Hosted by the New Orleans Legend, Curren$y.
Clothing Capsule
The Politics x Red Bull Terminal Takeover clothing capsule was designed in-house and feature graphics paying homage to the iconic skating event, the old New Orleans Airport, and the Big Easy itself. The capsule features two tee's and one hoodie.
New Orleans Storefront Happy Hour Pop-Up
On Saturday April 15th we hosted an in store pop-up at our New Orleans Decatur Street location celebrating the release of the Politics x Red Bull Terminal Takeover Capsule and giving our customers a chance to buy the pieces in store. We had a great time with our community enjoying the sounds of a live dj and tasty drinks courtesy of Red Bull and Patron.
After Hours - at Republic NOLA
We ended this eventful weekend with a celebration at Republic NOLA. Red Bull Terminal Takeover: After Hours is a night paying homage to the influence of hip-hop on skate and fashion in New Orleans and beyond. Hosted by New Orleans legend Curren$y, the night celebrated the New Orleans hip-hop scene with a sampling of performances from the city's best, performed within a backdrop of skate artwork and lifestyle. The night's lineup included Louisiana artists FreshxReckless, Pell, Kings of Brass, Fendi P, 504 Icy Girl as well as budding rapper and top college basketball prospect, Flau'jae Johnson out of LSU. Politics hosted a merchandise table at this event giving attendees the opportunity to pick up free stickers and purchase their favorite piece from the collection.
