PXP and the AEF Championship: when streetwear meets MMA

On September 21, 2024, Quimper hosted the 8th edition of the AEF Championship, a must-see event in the MMA world in France. This championship brings together the most formidable fighters and combat sports enthusiasts, offering breathtaking shows at each edition. This year, we had the honor of becoming an official partner of the event, thus affirming our roots in the sports world while strengthening our connection with urban culture.

A Powerful Partnership: The AEF Championship and Project X Paris
The AEF Championship, founded in 2016, quickly established itself as one of the biggest MMA events in France. Each edition gathers top-level fighters, MMA fans, but also brands sharing the same passion for performance and boldness. This partnership between Project X Paris and the AEF represents much more than a commercial commitment: it reflects a shared philosophy of self-surpassing, intensity, and style.

As an official partner, Project X Paris was displayed inside the cage, with our logo visible both on the floor and on the sides. This strong link with the AEF is essential for us as it allows us to reach a community that values both sport and fashion, a dynamic and engaged audience that identifies with our vision of streetwear.

We also had the opportunity to outfit the fighters and staff during the weigh-in with pieces from our flagship collections. A choice that shows the trust these top-level athletes have in our brand.

PXP Member’s Club: Best-Seller Approved by Fighters
During the weigh-in, fighters and staff proudly wore the PXP Member’s Club capsule, one of the most popular from our FW24 collection. This hoodie and t-shirt in black quickly became must-haves for our customers, and it’s no surprise that athletes also validated these iconic pieces.

With its clean design and distinctive logo, the Member’s Club capsule perfectly reflects the streetwear and sporty spirit of our brand. Comfortable and stylish, these items are ideal for athletes in training but also for those adopting an urban look daily.

Techwear Serving Performance
In addition to the Member’s Club capsule, fighters also had the opportunity to wear our Techwear tracksuit set during the weigh-in. This set combines practicality and style, meeting the needs of athletes seeking functional outfits without sacrificing style.

PXP in the Stands: Reveal Capsule Premiere
Besides our presence in the ring and backstage, some AEF 8 spectators had the exclusive opportunity to discover our brand new Reveal capsule in preview. Proudly sporting our new Polaris logo, they showed their support for the brand directly in the stands. It was a chance for them to display their belonging to the PXP community while wearing iconic pieces from this capsule, symbolizing a new chapter for Project X Paris.
