Armada continues to update and innovate their ARV line-up this year, changing up the mid-width offering, the 96, into two ARVs; a 94mm & 100mm freestyle ski. In the Zero side o the family the Whitewalker gets a bigger brother, the 121, with edges that un an even shorter length of the ski and coming in at 1850g/ski in the current length available, a 183.
Graphics that pop have always been a staple of Armada's freestyle skis and this year is no different. With some of the liveliest graphics we've seen from the ARV family since Mad Steeze. David Alabo dives into his Afro-surrealistic approach, which he uses to visually articulate digital African landscapes that are speculative, familiar, and fantastical for the ARV line-up and they are stunning.
Stalwarts and NS favourites, the E-Dollo, Bdog (and it's edgeless cousin) remain unchanged and look gorgeous.
