In the winter of 2020-2021, Candide Thovex, one of the world's most famous skiers, finally launched his own brand, "CANDIDE." The brand, which includes outerwear, apparel, and accessories, is full of the signature Candide style. Let's take a closer look at this brand
Candide Thovex -
The Man Who Needs an Introduction
Candide Thovex needs no introduction. He has been a force to be reckoned with in the snow sports world for the past few decades. His unique vision and stylish, technical snowboard-inspired riding style continues to inspire skiers around the world and constantly sets new standards
Candide's career highlights include becoming the first French gold medalist at the Winter X-Games, standing on the center step of the podium in all three ski disciplines (Big Air, Slopestyle and Superpipe), and overcoming the adversity of a serious injury accident in 2010 to win the Freeride World Tour, the highest level of freeride skiing
Candide then turned his attention to the world of video, unleashing his energy and talent. Since the release of "ONE OF THOSE DAYS," which stunned the world with its epoch-making and shocking video, he has produced countless videos, including "SKI THE WORLD" released in 2018, which have been viewed millions of times and delivered to people all over the world
"ONE OF THOSE DAYS" boasts an astonishing number of views
Pushing the limits and constantly creating new worlds—
that's the Candide way of life.
Candide began his career as a 16-year-old in 1999, during the dawn of freeride, and has consistently amazed the ski industry with his fearless, large-scale air tricks. He has also achieved many victories in the competition scene, and continues to push the limits in everything he does. Since shifting his focus to the world of video, his challenges have been as clear as day. Check out the videos he has posted on his YouTube channel, Candide Thovex
For Candide, skiing is a constant connection to nature, something he cherishes deeply. Born and raised at the foot of the Alps in La Clusaz, France, snow and nature have always been close at hand, indispensable to what makes Candide who he is. And skiing is a means of expressing his creativity, which can only be described as genius.
Now, news has come that Candide has finally produced his own apparel brand, "CANDIDE." It seems that this is a new addition to Candide's lineup of challenges, one that is quite different from the others.
The newly launched brand "CANDIDE" has all its products conceived, designed, and manufactured under the supervision of Candide.
"CANDIDE" is making its debut this winter with a wide range of products including outerwear, apparel, and accessories. Every item in the collection is conceived, designed, and manufactured under the supervision of Candide Thovex. Naturally, Candide's favorite mitten gloves are also available. In fact, it's a bit surprising that they only offer mitten gloves, and even goggles.
Looking at the designs and textures, it's clear that they are overflowing with Candide's unique style. Candide has been a leading rider for Quicksilver for 19 years, but from now on, he himself will become an icon (symbol).
CANDIDE, which is made up of passionate creators with extensive experience on snow and centered around Candide, says its mission is to bring innovative yet fundamentally superior products to the market
The specifications are focused on functionality and usability, allowing riders to freely express their rich creativity and fully demonstrate their high-level riding skills
Attention to detail is also given to the natural environment
The products are made to meet the needs of Candide and with the utmost consideration for the natural environment. Among the wide-ranging collection, some of the most notable items include the C1 Jacket, C1 Pant, C1 Insulator Hoodie, and C1 Polar, all of which are made from organic or recycled materials. Here are some of the products in the lineup:
2020-21 Model Lineup (from the official online store : https://www.candide.co/ )
BALACLABA 5,000 yen
How can you get it?
In fact, when the press release was released, there was little information available, so when the STEEP editorial team inquired about whether it could be ordered from Japan and how much it would cost, they immediately updated the official website's online store with the Japanese yen price. (Super fast response!)
Currently, it is possible to purchase from Japan through the online store. Delivery is expected to take place within 5 to 8 days after ordering with card payment. Shipping costs are based on the weight of the order. The full-scale launch in Japan will begin next season
