David Aldana is a former professional motorcycle racer from Santa Clara, US-CA. Back in the 70’s, he made history on the AMA (American Motorcyclist Association), is known for his all or nothing style of racing. 🏁 But he also has his place in fashion history, too.

One more rumor: this may also have been the original version that would be used as a reference for Supreme’s F/W 2017 collaboration with Vanson.
