UNISEX BODA TRACK PANTS RTS11-3

RED AND BLACK UNISEX TRACK PANTS WITH DOUBLE-WAIST DETAILS AND A SLIGHTLY DROPPED CROTCH CREATE THE ILLUSION OF TWO PANTS WORN OVER EACH OTHER.

 EACH PAIR OF SECOND-HAND TRACK PANTS IS INDIVIDUALLY SOURCED AT OWINO MARKET IN KAMPALA. WHILE THE MATERIALS AND PRINTS ARE NOT IDENTICAL, THE RELAXED SILHOUETTE AND THE DRAWSTRING WAISTBAND ARE SIGNATURE BUZIGAHILL.

A BODA BODA IS A MOTORBIKE TAXI OR THE RIDER. THEY ARE THE LIFELINE OF THE CITY AS THE MOST CONVENIENT FORM OF PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION, NOTORIOUS FOR WEAVING THROUGH GRIDLOCKED TRAFFIC, MUCH TO THE ANNOYANCE OF MOTOR VEHICLES.

BODA BODA RIDERS HAVE A DISTINCTIVE STYLE: PRAGMATIC, IMPROVISED, AND HIGHLY INDIVIDUAL. THEY LAYER GARMENTS TO PROTECT AGAINST DUST, WIND, AND RAIN, OFTEN STACKING TRACKS OVER JEANS OR TRACKS OVER TRACKS, WITH JACKETS WORN BACK TO FRONT.

BODA BODA CODES ARE A CONTINUOUS REFERENCE FOR RETURN TO SENDER COLLECTIONS, THROUGH THEIR CREATIVITY WITH DRESS AND THE CUSTOMIZATION OF THEIR MOTORBIKES, WHICH ARE OFTEN ADORNED WITH ICONOGRAPHY: STICKERS OF JESUS, FOOTBALL CLUBS OR POLITICAL PARTIES, CUSTOMIZED HARDWARE, AND HAND-PAINTED SLOGANS ON THE MUDGUARDS.

IT TAKES 11 HOURS TO UPCYCLE THESE UNIQUE RETURN TO SENDER PANTS AT OUR STUDIO IN KAMPALA.
