Sandor most recently served as Brand Manager of SPY where he was responsible for leading snow goggle design as well as worked heavily on brand related initiatives such as the Crosstown Collection, collaborations with The Seventh Letter Crew, Herschel Supply and Keep A Breast, and athlete signature product.
“686, and its locale in south Los Angeles, allows for the unique opportunity to draw inspiration equally from the mountains and city streets alike to create a vision totally unique in technical outerwear,” adds Brent. “The breadth of high quality products that 686 continually puts out every season is insane, and the collaborations speak for themselves – Dickies, New Balance, Levis, Scion, and the list goes on. To be a part of that, as well as work with, draw inspiration from and support some of the most creative and technical snowboarders on the planet, is what its all about. It’s why we all got into this in the first place – to make rad shit, support snowboarding and create amazing times with our friends!”
