Skateboarder and artist Mike Gigliotti works in collaboration with [Albino & Preto](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ap-x-oakley-collection) on a new collection to honor two sports simultaneously. The duo released a slew of clothing that celebrates [skateboarding and jiu-Jitsu](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crossover-collection) altogether. Speaking about the new range, Gigliotti states that “Jiu-Jitsu and skateboarding, it never ends.

There’s never a win or a loss for me. It’s learning something new every time, every day, and it never gets old. Also, both will humble the hell out of you!” As a part of the new project, Gigliotti's notable [hand-drawn cartoon doodle](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wasted-youth-x-tappei) makes an appearance across the apparel designs. It is applied through many different mediums including print, embroidery, and sublimation as well. Some of the silhouettes include a long sleeve rash guard, training shirts, shorts, kimonos, and more.
