Here at the Torment HQ we disagree, but one thing we can all come to terms with is a certain movie-induced phenomenon as old as time: specific crews play a pivotal role in ones affinity to specific snowboard regions.
On one hand, some of us are swayed to Finland by virtue of WOP or Mack Dawg's Follow Me Around era, while others would never stray from their Midwest allegiance to all the 1817 edits that formed their childhood (which are luckily immortalized on their Youtube channel). It may be subliminal, but there's no denying this influence—especially after we got to researching the foundations of cognitive bias.
In the case of NOMADIK, their first team video will definitely leave a lasting impression that makes you want to explore Japan past the computer screen. If the opening clips from Karin Ozozaki don't set that tone, then let the backcountry footage from the Hokkaido, Tohoku, and Tokai regions do the trick. They even threw in a few Cerulo clips for stubborn ones. So, what started in 2016 as a fashion brand by snowboarders Kohei Kudo and Teddy Koo has now developed into a breath of fresh air in the world of snowboard crews. The perfect fusion of culture, fashion, art, and boarding that we can get behind.
２０１６年、プロスノーボーダーである工藤洸平とTEDDY KOOによって設立されたアパレルブランドNOMADIK。NOMADIK初となるスノーボードチームムービー “GYPSY“ が2022年10月にローンチされました。長澤颯飛、小野崎海琳 、浅谷純菜、PETER CERULO、 藤倉海人によるストリート映像や 工藤洸平、国母和宏、大久保勇利によるバックカントリー映像が詰め込まれています。北海道、東北、東海地方でのアルパイン映像は見所です。カルチャー、ファッション、アートが融合したNOMADIK独自の世界観を感じて頂ける作品になってます。
