The AJE ATHLETICA Experience The AJE ATHLETICA experience took place on 8th June 2021, to celebrate the launch of the new athleticwear capsule. Moments of tranquility were found amongst quiet coastlines and native bushland. In an immersive and performance focused adventure, from the heart of Sydney to Bouddi National Park on New South Wales’ Central Coast to the beautiful shores of Palm Beach, the day was filled with physical activity and mental rejuvenation. Led by our AJE ATHLETICA Ambassadors alongside our Co-Founders and Creative Directors Adrian Norris and Edwina Forest, the AJE ATHLETICA experience had our guests move in their favourite A.A styles whilst performing to new heights to promote their wellbeing. Explore the experience through a recap of the day below, and feel a sense of solace as we share intimate moments captured on the beautiful coastlines of New South Wales.
