These shorts move like history does.
The Migration Mesh Shorts are built from archival imagery and diasporic language pulled straight from the Diaspo Rico project. Layered photographs, halftone textures, and mapping lines reference Puerto Rican migration, surveillance, resistance, and return. On the back leg, the phrase “Return Is Resistance” reminds us that movement is political and coming home is powerful.
Lightweight, breathable, and made to move, these shorts sit at the intersection of sport, street, and storytelling. Whether you’re on the court, in the heat, at the beach, or just outside living life, these are meant to be worn loud and with intention.
Diaspora isn’t static. Neither are we.
