Yuki Tsunoda: From Speed to Street Style with New Clothing Line
In a move that could very well shake up the fashion world—or at least the paddock—Yuki Tsunoda is not just gearing up to race; he’s stepping into the design world, too! Anticipation is in the air as the Japanese driver prepares for his Red Bull Racing debut at his home Grand Prix in Japan, but that’s not all—he’s also launching his own clothing brand, Venti Due!
Set to kick off with a pop-up shop in Suzuka City, Tsunoda’s fashion line will feature an array of stylish offerings including hoodies, oversized jerseys, and even balloon pants. Yes, balloon pants! With the brand name translating to ‘22’ (his racing number, if you didn’t know), the collection is designed for those who want to feel as fast as they look—after all, the slogan is ‘fast on track, effortless in style.’
Behind this venture is Japanese artist Jinya Yamakawa, who has previously lent his creativity to Tsunoda’s helmet designs. This collaboration adds an artistic touch to the collection, which prominently features a maple leaf motif—ideal for those with a penchant for nature in their streetwear.
The first drop was anticipated on March 31, but the exact launch details remain as elusive as a rain-free race weekend. However, one thing is clear: Tsunoda’s foray into fashion is poised to grab attention both in and out of the circuit!
On the race course, Tsunoda faces new challenges along with his team: replacing Liam Lawson and securing his position alongside Max Verstappen. After a string of impressive performances, his promotion to the senior team comes with high expectations. Can he handle the pressure? Time will tell, but if his fashion line is anything to go by, Tsunoda is ready to break boundaries—both on the asphalt and the runway.
In a sport where drivers often move faster than their contracts can keep up, Tsunoda’s dual attack with style and speed might just make him the next big name in both motorsports and modern fashion. And if it all goes sideways, at least he’ll have a stylish backup plan!
