Rapha & Palace Reimagine Cycling Apparel

With "Past Forward" collection.

POSTED BY ZOE TYLER

In honor of Rapha's 20th anniversary, the brand has partnered with Palace to release the bold and vibrant "Past Forward" collection. This exciting collaboration marks the third time the two iconic brands have joined forces, blending the best of Rapha’s cycling heritage with Palace’s distinctive streetwear flair. The collection draws heavy inspiration from the eye-catching aesthetics of the 1980s, featuring graphic-heavy designs that bring a nostalgic twist to modern cycling gear.

 

 

Palace has taken Rapha’s timeless cycling staples and injected its signature cheeky, irreverent style. The capsule consists of six standout pieces that effortlessly fuse form and function: a merino zip-knit sweater, both long and short sleeve cycling jerseys, cozy merino socks, and the classic "Shell 6-Panel" cap — a staple from Palace that offers a stylish edge, whether you're cycling or out on the town.

The highlight of the collection? The merino zip-knit. This retro-inspired sweater features a striking color combo of cream, blue, and red, with the word “Palace” boldly printed in vintage italics across the chest, while Rapha’s iconic logo is subtly placed on the left. Perfect for both rides and relaxed days, this knit piece merges performance with a laid-back, stylish vibe, making it a versatile addition to any wardrobe.

With "Past Forward," Rapha and Palace deliver a fresh take on cycling apparel, offering gear that celebrates both the sport’s rich history and today’s streetwear culture. The collection speaks to riders and fashion lovers alike, pushing the boundaries of what cycling fashion can be.
