If you're a snowboarding enthusiast like us, you know how much having the right gear can make all the difference. This season, we have a new arrival that deserves your full attention: 686 (check it out here ), a brand that exudes snow, style, and commitment. 686 is coming to Homies, and we can already tell it's going to make people happy on the snow this season! Led by a new team and a visionary designer, 686 takes style to the slopes a notch above.
The story of 686 is that of Michael Akira West, who, in the 90s, wanted to merge LA skateboarding with the adrenaline rush of snowboarding. Today, 686 hasn't lost any of its edge; quite the opposite: with a team of stylish riders and a rock-solid commitment to sustainability, they continue to make their mark. Certified B Corp, they're doing their part for the planet, and you're riding in style! Sick, right?
A breath of fresh air with Team 686
At 686 , community spirit isn't just words. They have a team of talented riders and artists who bring fresh ideas. For example, we're talking about the new Dojo Collection by Forest Bailey, one of our favorite riders with a unique style – a big favorite at Homies! We're also loving the collaboration with Welcome, which adds a bold touch that doesn't go unnoticed.
With talents like Tommy Gesme, Katie Kennedy, Robby Meehan, and Cooper Whittier, Team 686 embodies everything we love: passion, style, and vision. They live snowboarding, they inspire it, and they redefine what it stands for.
