Revolution Collection: Celebrate the Spirit of Change
Introducing the Revolution Collection by polette, a tribute to the life-changing revolutions that have shaped our world. This collection embodies the essence of upheaval and transformation, drawing inspiration from pivotal moments in history that have redefined societal norms and sparked new ways of thinking. Revolution is about breaking free from the past and embracing the future with boldness and creativity.
Revolution /rɛvəˈluːʃ(ə)n/: Forcible overthrow of a government or social order, in favor of a new system.
No era exemplifies revolution better than the 1970s—a true ode to disruption. From the rise of New Hollywood and the pioneering spirit of skateboarding to the rebellious energy of Rock’n’roll, the 70s marked the end of old institutions and the birth of a new world. Rules that had been established for too long were finally flipped over, paving the way for innovation and change.
The 1978
In 1978, skateboarder Alan Gelfand, nicknamed "Ollie," invented a maneuver that revolutionized skateboarding. The ollie became the foundation for nearly all modern skate tricks, representing a pivotal moment in the sport's history.
The 1978 frame embodies the rebellious spirit of skateboarding culture. With a sleek, aerodynamic design and vibrant colors, this frame is a tribute to those who dare to defy gravity and conventional limits. Built for both performance and style, the 1978 frame offers excellent eye protection and a comfortable fit, making it ideal for those who live life on the edge.
The 1975
The 1975 frame is inspired by New Hollywood, a movement that revolutionized American cinema from the mid-1960s to the early 1980s. This era saw a new generation of filmmakers challenge the traditional studio system, creating groundbreaking films that pushed boundaries and redefined storytelling.
Featuring bold lines, a retro aesthetic and capturing the spirit of cinematic innovation, its playful colors evoke the vibrant energy of the era, stimulating your nostalgic fiber while challenging the norm.
