Stance has added Jimmy Chin to their Punks and Poets roster, the brands’ ambassador collective that unites a diverse community of creative originals from around the world.
All mountain multi-taskman, Jimmy Chin is a celebrated photographer, filmmaker and mountain sports athlete. He was part of the first American team to ski off the summit of Mount Everest and can claim a list of first ascents in just about every corner of the earth. He’s directed award-winning films and, whether behind or in front of the lens, has appeared on the covers of the biggest publications in the world.
In 2015, Jimmy’s documentary, Meru, inspired the outdoor community and beyond. Meru won the Audience Award at Sundance Film Festival, and was on the Oscar’s shortlist for Best Documentary.
Java Fernandez, Stance marketing director, said: “There’s no more qualified person on earth to steer the Stance Adventure program. He’s done it all, often while holding a camera. He’s our spirit animal”
Jimmy Chin is the new face of Stance’s Adventure category – a three-tiered collection of performance outdoor, hiking, and trekking socks that can take you from daily use to the pinnacle of your ambitions.
