Described by Shaun as "clothes my friends can wear" the Shaun White for
Target collection was designed by Shaun in collaboration with his brother
Jesse to reflect their love for skateboarding, music, art, and travel.
"Target is a great company that has been supporting me for almost six
years. Having the opportunity to create an original line with them is a
natural progression of our relationship and something that I was extremely
stoked to do. The fact that I was able to work with my brother just made it
even sweeter," said Shaun.
Shaun's brother and design partner Jesse had this to say, "Shaun and I
have worked on projects together ranging from snowboards to skate shoes and
were extremely excited to have the chance to create apparel together. Target
was amazing to work with and supported our vision every step of the way. We
love the way the line turned out."

Target collection brings our guests a fresh perspective on casual apparel for
