Pas Normal Studios and JJJJound Reimagine Contemporary Cycling Culture
Summary
In a highly anticipated union that seamlessly blends the rigorous tradition of cycling with contemporary design, Copenhagen-based premium cycling apparel brandPas Normal Studiosannounces its inaugural product drop with Canadian brandJJJJound.
At the heart of this partnership is a striking co-branded jersey that features a sublimation print of Claude Monet's iconic Impressionist landscape. This lush, atmospheric artwork evokes the romantic, rural origins of cycling's visual language, creating a deliberate contrast with the often-concrete environments where modern cyclists train and ride. This artistic centerpiece is a testament to the collection's unique vision. 'What Justin and the team at JJJJound have built is truly impressive, and we've always respected how they navigate collabs with such precision and restraint. Their minimalist approach speaks volumes,' stated Karl-Oskar Olsen, creative director and co-founder of Pas Normal Studios. He further highlighted the defining inspiration, 'The emphasis on the Monet painting and the strong heritage feel just clicked with us. It challenged me, and that's when I got really excited, seeing the depth in it and the intention behind every detail.'
The collection's branding masterfully balances expressive visuals with minimalist restraint, delivering a cohesive line that caters to the discerning rider. Key pieces include the featured jersey for both men and women, alongside men's and women's black Mechanism Bibs, a crisp white mesh Base Layer, performance-oriented Socks, and a matching Bidon. Each item is designed to embody the rich, expressive tradition of cycling while being thoughtfully reinterpreted for the modern rider.
The Pas Normal Studios x JJJJound collection will be available globally atpasnormalstudios.comandjjjjound.comstarting June 19 at 8 a.m. ET.

Skiing just became a summer sport. Nordic Strong, a Copenhagen-based ski workout concept, has made its way to New York. This summer, the brand will be hosting a pop-up fitness studio in Sag Harbor at 11 Bridge Street until Labor Day, followed by a permanent outpost in Flatiron at 35 West 21st Street in Manhattan in early September. A single drop in class costs $50. More from WWD Inside Puppy Sphere, the Endorphin-boosting Non-workout Yoga Class Inside Pride x Boom, New York Pride Weekend's Kick-off Party Watermill Center Unveils 'Upside Down Zebra,' a Celebration of Childhood Art and Contemporary Creativity Nordic Strong employs a patented machine, which the fitness brand now owns, that replicates cross-country skiing. The machine can create 50-plus low-impact, full-body workouts and can be customized in a variety of ways. 'We found our first location in Copenhagen and opened that two years ago as a proof of concept. We knew we wanted to take it to the U.S.,' saya Nordic Strong founder and chief executive officer Nicole Roth. 'All classes are centered around the machine, but because it's so versatile we use it in different ways. We do a strength class, a cardio class and a sculpt class that's Pilates-based.' Each class is 50 minutes and also may employ mat work, weights and Bala accessories. Inspired by its Copenhagen roots, the space incorporates a cozy, Nordic-esque design, while the classes feature custom color lights inspired by the Northern lights.

Walter Scott of R&B group the Whispers dies at 81
Walter Scott, who with his twin brother Wallace founded the Los Angeles-based R&B group the Whispers — a hit-making force in the 1970s and '80s with songs like 'And the Beat Goes On,' 'Rock Steady,' 'Lady' and 'Seems Like I Gotta Do Wrong' — died Thursday, according to multiple media outlets, including Billboard and the Los Angeles Sentinel. He was 81. The Sentinel reported that Scott's family said he died in Northridge after a six-month bout with cancer. With a smooth, danceable sound built on sturdy post-disco rhythms and carefully arranged group vocals, the Whispers put 15 songs inside the Top 10 of Billboard's R&B chart; 'And the Beat Goes On' reached No. 1 in 1980, followed by 'Rock Steady,' which topped the tally in 1987. The band's music was widely sampled in later years, including by 50 Cent, Mobb Deep, J. Cole and Will Smith, the last of whom used 'And the Beat Goes On' as the basis for his late-'90s hit 'Miami.' In a post on Instagram, the musician and filmmaker Questlove described Scott as 'one of the most trusted voices in '70s soul music' and compared him to 'the talented uncle in the family….who btw could DUST you inna min w his dizzying blink & you lost him squiggle gee doo dweedy scatlibs.' Scott was born in 1944 in Fort Worth, Texas, and later moved to L.A. with his family; he and his brother started singing as students at Jordan High School, according to the Sentinel, and formed the Whispers in the mid-'60s with Nicholas Caldwell, Marcus Hutson and Gordy Harmon. The group spent time in San Francisco before Scott was drafted to serve in the Vietnam War. The group recorded for a series of record companies but found its biggest success on Dick Griffey's Solar label. The Whispers were inducted into the Vocal Group Hall of Fame and the National Rhythm & Blues Hall of Fame. Billboard said Scott is survived by his wife, Jan; two sons; three grandchildren and his brother.
