Some things just deserve more shine
Special Projects
RPBLK21 Special Projects are designs with a purpose—created to highlight the things we feel need more attention, more love, and more respect. Whether it’s celebrating Barbados’ aviation legacy with GAIA or pushing for safer beaches with the Lifeguard Series, these drops are about culture, community, and impact.
Each project is an opportunity—not just to wear something dope, but to support a movement. Organizations, brands, and even government bodies can tap in, collaborate, and help bring these ideas to life in a bigger way.

Special Project
GAIA

Gateway to the rock
This one’s personal.
Bajans just say "The Airport," but Grantley Adams International (GAIA) has one of the dopest airport names out there. It’s the gateway to and from the Rock, where countless journeys begin.

The idea for this design hit me mid-flight—one of those moments where you’re looking out the window, reflecting, feeling that pull between home and the world beyond. Landed and linked with @mrkastaylor to shape the vision, and this is where we took it.

But here’s the fun flex: back in primary school, I was that kid tearing up exercise books to craft the cleanest, most aerodynamic paper planes. Precision folds, launch angles—yo, I was serious about it. And now, that same energy fuels this drop.

The GAIA Special Project is about movement, ambition, and creativity—whether you’re catching real flights or dreaming up new destinations.
