Diesel ad breaks down the dance trends from A to Z: Viral video of the day
Back in 2014, when Diesel created the Jogg Jeans they wanted to make a pair of jeans that are as soft and comfortable as a pair of sweatpants while still offering the high quality and durability of denim. Don’t get it wrong though, Diesel didn’t create the Jogg Jeans for you to sit around in them all day lounging in your living room or your bedroom. The Diesel Jogg Jeans are designed and created for performance and ease of movement in your daily life.
To demonstrate this Diesel has teamed up with iD Magazine to create a high-performance dance video entitled ‘The A-Z of Dance’ showcasing 26 of the most popular dance moves in the world such as b-girl, memphis jookin, harlem shake, krumpin, harlem shake, chicken noodle soup, and the death drop.
Directed by Jacob Sutton and shot against the beautiful LA skyline, ‘A-Z of Dance’ shows breakout stars performing the cult dances that made them famous. All wear Jogg Jeans, Diesel’s hybrid clothing that combines denim and jersey, proving that movement and style are perfect partners for successful living in this energetic and vibrant video.
Giving all dancers the freedom to express themselves whether they are death-dropping or vogueing. These innovative jeans combine two casualwear staples – durable and comfortable – by fusing a circular weaving technique with a traditional denim indigo dye. Jogg Jeans allow the look of denim on the outside, but the 360° stretch and comfort of sweatpants on the inside, encapsulate Diesel’s focus on creativity and innovation.
