Why this collaboration matters.
I grew up between Hawaiʻi and Los Angeles. Both places shaped who I am, how I carry myself, and why I live the way I do.
This collaboration with Pontis comes from a friendship rooted in Hawaiʻi. One that has lasted through a lot of chapters, some easy, some not. Real friendships and relationships hold. Even when things get complicated, even when there’s distance, the connection remains.
That’s what this kimono and rashguard represent to me. Hawaiʻi to California. Two people who care about this art and this community, building something they’re proud of.
This is Zumi gear. Designed for our mats, our students, our community.
Pre-orders will close early Sunday, May 10. Sizes are limited and guaranteed only through the pre-order window. Link in bio.
