Global Clothing brand, Off-White™ has produced limited edition t-shirts entitled ‘Product Of Ghana’.
This is a collaboration between the powerhouses Daily Paper x Off-White™.
The exclusive collection made its global release on Friday, January 15, 2021 on dailypaperclothing.com.
This was revealed by Off-white boss and Ghanaian Virgil Abloh on social media.
But why?
Together, they look to support the collective Surf Ghana in creating Ghana’s first skatepark Freedom Skate Park in Accra, Ghana.
100% of the sales from this collaboration will be donated towards the construction of the skatepark.
The Surf Ghana collective uses the practice of extreme sports as a driver for diversity in education, social inclusion, and youth empowerment. Pioneering voice diversity while pushing freedom and self-expression to create a counter-culture platform.
Their mission – to improve the physical-mental health of the youth in Ghana, while creating an ecosystem of sport to promote inclusion for the growing community of emerging athletes.
The Freedom Skate Park will become 1 of the only 10 skateparks in all of Africa, construction will start in 2021 and is expected to open later in the year.
“With this initiative we hope to evolve the skate culture in Ghana to the next level and give locals a platform to grow their talents within a space that will hopefully become their biggest training ground to date. More than board sports, the park will be a creative hub for young Ghanaians to come together, exchange ideas, inspire each other and build their futures through recreational activities. They now have a place where they can be themselves, freely develop their skills together with likeminded people and reach their true potential. Hence the name Freedom Skate Park.”
