KAZU FOR NEFF GLOVES Neff signs snowboard “Boss” Kazuhiro Kokubo to its Glove Team.
KAZU 10 / NEFF MAG

eff is proud to announce the addition of snowboard “Boss” Kazuhiro Kokubo to its glove team. Kazu will be joining the likes of Sage Kotsenburg, Halldor & Eiki Helgason, and Dylan Thompson. We are looking forward to working with Kazu and releasing signature products in the coming seasons. - “Japan’s Kazuhiro Kokubo is no new jack. Since he was a just a grom, about age 14—when they called him the Remote Control boy—Kazu has been in the mix in pipe contests around the world including the Olympics in Vancouver last winter. He’s not quite a household name here, but among the pro community, Kazu is known to be a beast—all 100 pounds of him. He ended the season strong by taking 1st place in pipe at the US Open.” - excerpt from Transworld Snowboarding.

NEFF SPONSORS HEADIS TEAM IN GERMANY Neff sponsors hot team in new sport sweeping Europe called “headis�
14 / NEFF MAG
A
hybrid of table tennis and football, headis is a game that is catching on in its native Germany and beyond. Invented by Rene Wegner, and popular already in universities throughout his homeland, headis uses the tactics of tennis and ping pong with the primary skill, the header, borrowed from football. The rules are similar to those in table tennis, with the same table used, but there are a few obvious exceptions. For one, instead of a small plastic ball and a paddle the headis ball is seven inches in diameter and weighs about 100 grams. The game is serious stuff - players launch themselves at shots, leaping onto the table in the hope of winning the point. it is now part of the sports programme in at least 15 universities in the country, and is creeping into the Czech Republic educational establishments.
NEFF FEATURED IN TOP SOUTH AFRICAN FASHION MAG Neff’s Daily Shades were featured in a spread in top fasion magazine True Love based out of South Africa!

NEFF X WILDFLOWER CASES Neff partners with popular women’s phone case company to produce a unique product!
W
hy walk and talk when you can strut? Neff brings you the limited edition Wildflower Cases collaboration. We teamed up with Wildflower to produce a collection of products that will be sure to leave you wanting more. Products include iPhone cases for the iPhone 5/5s and the iPhone 6. To also add to your outfit, a special Daily Beanie with extended fit and sublimated tie dye Neff label. The beanie is a unique first, with the length and slouch of the legenday Fold Beanie, but with a subtle label from the iconic Daily Beanie. A hybrid of the two beanies is a first for Neff Headwear. Neff approached Wildflower Cases in Fall 2014 to discuss a Winter/Spring capsulet collection for online only. Being one of the hottest companies in 2013 & 2014, it was easy for Neff to choose the phone case brand. Working closely with Michelle (Founder/CEO), Neff began processing through numerous designs, to which after several design rounds later, the Pastel case was created. Michelle searches for the most unique and limited fabric designs and was very hands on with our design team, throughout the entire design process. Her philosophy on limited products brings the individualism

you would expect and demand from a custom hand made iPhone case company. Our unique designs only allow for small batch production ( a few hundred cases ), so availability is extremely limited! This ensures that wherever you go, you won’t see anyone else rocking what you have. Upon designing the final cases, Neff x Wildflower wanted to create a subtle and cute beanie to pair with the case. The thought of applying the pastel pattern to the beanie label began the design process. With input from Neff’s Headwear staff, and fittings with Wildflower, a unique beanie was born. A more slouchy, lengthy beanie was created, while still keeping the same iconic Daily Beanie look. Along with the slouchy look, the sublimated tie dye pastel pattern offers a cute and creative way for girls to make the beanie their own, and match with a variety of color options. The Neff x Wildflower Colllaboration is available exclusively on NeffHeadwear. com only. Please visit the website to check out all the products and order before the limited quantities are gone!
The collaboration features 2 different sized cases for iPhones and one special length beanie with matching print.
Gift baskets containing the case and beanie were sent to popular fashion bloggers from YouTube and Instagram. NEFF MAG / 23
