Mental Athletic is a pioneering editorial project exalting running and the aesthetic codes surrounding it. The biannual magazine aims to generate a new language around dynamism by rebuilding the connective tissue between social groups struggling against the contemporary neurosis. “It’s the era of running. First there was the jogging boom, but now we’re in a time of peba foam, double thresholds, and smartwatches. Everyone’s an athlete, everything’s for sale.” Dimensions are 10.5" long, 10.25" wide, and 1" high The issue’s grammar finds its rhythm in the cover stories, from BANDIT GRAND PRIX, seen through the lens of NYC-based visual artist Chris Glickmann, to a group portrait shot in Oakland starring the collective A.F.A.I.C., styled in KASK and photographed by Peter Sutherland, and a journey into the mysterious soils of the Mount Cameroon Race of Hope, captured by Riccardo Raspa. The issue also features the HOMERUN and Nike special sleeve cover, expanding the dialogue between motion, subculture, and visual identity. Show more
