Meet The Cheetah - The Nelson Vails Collection

If you believe that history remembers only the reigning champions, the rivalries and the record breakers, Nelson Vails begs to differ: “I was straight New York. I went out to the Olympic Games and I was doing it. This time everyone remembers who came second,” referencing his historic silver medal at the 1984 Games. Vails grew up riding his bike for work on the streets of Manhattan, training lap after lap of Central Park, and racing in eye-catching lightning bolt kit. To mark the release of our latest limited edition capsule collection, we met him for a guided tour of his home turf.
