Nitro Circus Teams with Ethika for Exclusive Underwear Collection

Nitro Circus, the world’s top action sports entertainment company, and Ethika, a leading underwear brand driven by personal identity, have announced a new licensing partnership. The agreement, effective immediately, follows the March 2016 debut of Ethika’s signature Pastrana Vintage collection celebrating Nitro Circus co-founder and global motorsports icon Travis Pastrana.

As part of this new partnership, Ethika will release a signature Nitro Circus underwear collection. Inspired by the record-breaking achievements of Nitro Circus’ daredevil athletes, these exciting designs will embody the individuality of the Nitro Circus crew and feature the quality and comfort they expect. Available in men’s and boys’ styles at major retail locations and online in 2017, more details regarding the Nitro Circus collection will be announced soon.

“I’m so pumped to take this collaboration with Ethika to the next level,” said Pastrana. “I’ve been a part of Ethika from the beginning and couldn't be more proud of my friend Malcolm McCassy for coming so far and bringing Ethika to the forefront of comfort and style. That entire crew is dialed in to the action sports community. It truly is a Familie.”

“We are thrilled to join forces with Ethika and partner on this exciting collection,” said Peter Maule, Nitro Circus’ Global Head of Licensing. “Ethika is a tremendous industry leader whose style and originality resonates across youth culture.” 

“Ethika has been worn by the athletes since the birth of Nitro Circus,” said Ethika VP of Marketing Danny Evans. “We are excited to combine the Nitro ideas and designs with our expertise in the underwear category. We will be offering the styles as part of our youth line as well so there will be something for the whole family.”

Nitro Circus entered the licensing arena full-force in 2015 and will continue to roll out an expansive global collection in the coming months across both soft-lines and hard-goods featuring exciting sporting goods, toys, video games and more.
