POD - new K4 AC9 limited edition knee brace
Australian specialist POD Active has collaborated with team rider Adam Cianciarulo for a new take on its tried and tested monochromatic K4 2.0 knee brace . The new K4 AC9 LE boasts " vibrant pops of colour and dynamic graphical treatment inspired by AC ' s love of the Californian pop punk scene , while still featuring the unprecedented strength and performance of the original K4 2.0 brace . " Covered with flecks of vivid colour and playful , quirky graphics , the K4 AC9 LE brace draws inspiration from the pop punk music scene of the late 90s and early 2000s ". That scene had a strong crossover with the board sports and moto lifestyles , and the artwork pays homage to the graphical direction of album artwork , tour posters and merchandise from the time . " We are always looking to try new things and evolve our product offering . We loved AC ' s ideas of drawing from the culture that inspired him and bringing his own unique style to the brace ," says POD Active Marketing Manager Byron Marsh . " This is just the first of a few new looks we have planned for the range , and hopefully we can roll out some more collaborations with our athletes and even artists in the future . " Adam Cianciarulo is an American professional Motocross racer , and arguably one of the most exciting young AMA Supercross & Motocross riders in history . With a fiery and tenacious nature , the partnership between Cianciarulo and POD Active was born from a unified passion for human movement ."
