Changing the Game Starring Colin Kaepernick & Lucas Pinheiro Braathen

Changing the game means leaving it better than the way you found it. Colin Kaepernick and Lucas Pinheiro Braathen star in 'Changing the Game,' VMAN's latest digital cover! A decade after his historic protest on the football field, Kaepernick continues to advocate for social change, while Braathen has made history on the slopes, becoming an Olympic gold medalist for Brazil after stepping away from Norway's national team. Their journeys through professional sports could hardly be more different, yet both have used their influence to create opportunities for those who follow. Captured by Matthew Brookes and styled by Brian Meller in @moncler Re/Icons 2026 collection, a contemporary reinterpretation of the brand's alpine heritage, the two open up to VMAN about the convictions that have shaped their careers and their ambitions for a future that extends far beyond competition.
