In an unprecedented collaboration, Indian Motorcycle, America’s First Motorcycle Company, has partnered with Indigenous designer Jeremy Arviso on a limited-edition apparel collection that fuses iconic motorcycle culture with Native American design, iconography, and storytelling. The INDIAN MOTORCYCLE x RVSO Collection is more than a fashion release—it’s a cultural milestone and a powerful step forward for representation, design, and impact.

The exclusive collection is the first of its kind for Indian Motorcycle and marks a historic moment as Jeremy Arviso becomes the brand’s first Native American designer collaborator. Born and raised in Phoenix, Arizona, and an enrolled member of the Navajo Nation (Diné) with roots in the Hopi, Akimel O’odham, and Tohono O’odham Nations, Arviso is widely celebrated for his streetwear aesthetic rooted in Indigenous culture and identity.
“Being the first Native American designer to collaborate with this legendary brand is an honor and a privilege. It’s one of those opportunities you never expect to happen and, when it does, you better be ready to ride!,” says Arviso. “For this collection, I drew inspiration from the existing identity of Indian Motorcycle. I carefully placed elements of movement, direction and color throughout the collection. Adorned with arrow motifs, each piece embodies a deep connection to land, community, and heritage.”

A Collaboration Rooted in Respect
Over two years in the making, the collaboration reflects a meaningful partnership built on mutual respect, creativity, and authenticity. Arviso worked closely with the Indian Motorcycle team to infuse his heritage and personal experience into the collection. Every color, symbol, and design element is intentional—offering wearers a chance to connect more deeply with Indigenous design traditions and values.
The Art of Storytelling Through Design
The apparel features original artwork by Arviso that draws from his life as an Indigenous artist and motorcyclist. Each symbol carries deep significance:
The Sacred Hoop: Represents the interconnectedness of all living things and our collective responsibility to protect balance.
Four Directions: Shown through the Four Sacred Colors—Black, Red, Yellow, and White—symbolizing life stages, seasons, elements, and ceremonial plants.
Turquoise: A sacred stone in many Native cultures, symbolizing water and life, with protective and healing properties.
Arrow Motifs: Reflect direction, protection, and the spirit of forward motion—an homage to Indigenous resilience and the road ahead.
