The California Republic Collection by Retroactv celebrates the golden state’s boundless spirit — where rhythm meets motion, and freedom fuels connection.

Inspired and designed by Jay Daniel of Black Cat Studio, rooted in the heart of San Francisco, the collection draws from a lifetime immersed in California’s creative underground. Jay’s work — shaped by art, music, and street-level culture — reflects the same ethos that defines both classic rock and outdoor sport: independence, authenticity, and the power of shared experience.

Grounded in Retroactv’s heritage of classic rock rebellion, the California Republic Collection channels the energy that lives at the intersection of sound and movement. Whether it’s a ride down the coast, a run through the hills, or a wave caught at dawn, each moment becomes part of California’s living soundtrack — individual expression unfolding within a larger community.

Together, Retroactv and Black Cat Studio celebrate the values that connect music and sport across generations: freedom, self-expression, and belonging — uniting those who live for the open road, the open stage, and the open sky.
