WITH NO more parties or clubs to go to, your dose of music has become a personal adventure during these lockdowns. To provide us with both high performance technology and exceptional design, Beats by Dr. Dre and AMBUSH® have come together to create a special-edition Powerbeats. Designed with the notion of flowing effortlessly from day-to-night, it is the first ever glow-in-the-dark product by Beats, as well as being constructed to be sweat and water resistant!
Beats x AMBUSH® in the dark and light
Co-founder and creative director of Tokyo-based AMBUSH®, Yoon Ahn is widely recognised for her unisex, innovative designs that merge luxury, fashion and jewellery together. Inspired by subcultures in the Japanese capital, this collaboration saw her draw inspiration from the city’s nightlife and bright lights.
“I live in the middle of Shibuya and I am always inspired by how the city just glows at nights time” explains Yoon, “I thought it would be really cool to design a product that could capture that same city energy when you’re outside late at night listening to music.”
Burna Boy for AMBUSH® x Beats
To complement this exciting collaboration, the two creatives got Nigerian artist Burna Boy to star in the campaign video. The superstar discusses how music is a tool that can unify us all across the world. He continues to speak on the future, but more importantly the future generations in Africa, whom he says should be proud of who they are.
The campaign video is nothing short of inspiring and insightful. Along with the transcendence visuals, Burna Boy is the perfect poster boy for this collab!
