Candide dropped a link on his Instagram this morning that brings you to his new brand's Instagram, which then provides a link to his brands' official website, candide.co. A seemly subtle launch of his new technical outerwear, apparel, and accessory brand that redefines the rules. We knew that something may have been brewing since he left Quicksilver after a 19 year-long deal just a few seasons ago, and now our suspicions have been confirmed.

It's exciting to see Candide finally branch out on his own with a full outerwear collection for both men & women. What does the GOAT have instore for us next? He's been teasing a lot of insane clips recently on his IG which one can only hope that means Candide has a new edit dropping sometime in the next 5 years.
