The 2026 Mishigami tee is here.
We worked with , a London-based illustrator, on this one. 1,121 miles around the Great Water, captured in Karl’s signature style.
Limited run so act fast. Link in bio. Go give Karl a follow while you’re at it.
What do you think of Karl’s work?
They say winners drink milk but at what cost?

All three Mishigami race winners. It’s pretty incredible that every year the winner has taken 24 hours off the previous winner’s time.
Don’t think it’s possible to shave off another 24 hours, but hey, we’ll see who shows up next year 🤷♂️
The winning fueling strategy? Syrup. Simple as that
