NEW YORK, May 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Hurley, the global apparel and lifestyle brand, and Travis Barker, the world-renowned drummer and producer, just lit the fuse on the most exciting collab of 2025! Get ready, because this isn't your average surf brand capsule—it's the counterculture spirit of Southern California.
As both the first brand ambassador and the creative force behind the capsule collection, Barker's distinct influence is woven throughout every element of the limited-edition drop and innovative campaign. The collection includes tees and sweatshirts adorned with camo print, skull motifs, old English graphics, checker print, and more; while classic chino pants, shorts, and overalls evoke Barker's wardrobe staples. Punk-inspired surf and swim featuring Hurley's award-winning boardshort technology, as well as accessories including sunglasses, footwear, and headwear round out the collection.
An artist who needs no introduction, Barker's connection with the Hurley brand spans decades and is rooted in a shared history of the Southern California pop-punk and surf scenes. When Blink-182 was blowing up stages on Warped Tour in the early 2000s, Travis wasn't just wearing Hurley tees—he was living the California cool lifestyle that defined the era (and style) of the time. Now, over twenty years later, Hurley and Travis are making it official with the Hurley x Travis Barker collection.
"This collaboration is special for us as it showcases the synergy between the spirit and excitement of Hurley in its early days with who we are now as an internationally established brand with the power to do something really loud and exciting," says Joey Gabbay, CEO at Bluestar Alliance, Hurley's parent company. "Hurley has always believed that music and art are the common threads that bring us all together and having a legendary artist like Travis create custom designs and fits based on his own personal style sealed the deal for us. We strive for authenticity in everything we do, and this collaboration is a perfect symbol of that dedication."
Shot at his recording studio and on the streets of California, the campaign captures the synergy and chemistry between Hurley and Barker. Photographed among the musical instruments that Barker has used to become the force he is today, mixed with his personal collectibles including cars, bikes, and motorcycles, these details highlight Barker's storied career and rebellious personal style while emphasizing the enthusiasm both Barker and Hurley share for creativity and innovation.
"This collection represents everything I love about the lifestyle I've carved out for myself," says Barker. "It's tattooed and poetic, chaotic and precise—a beautiful contradiction that just works. It's made for people like me, the punk kids, the surf community and the people who can't help but create. I love the freedom I was given with this process and believe that really comes through in the product and designs."
The Hurley x Travis Barker Collection is now available globally at hurley.com and select retailers with prices ranging from $50 - $125. For more information, visit https://www.hurley.com/ or follow Hurley on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok,Threads, and X.

HURLEY UNVEILS FIRST-EVER GLOBAL BRAND AMBASSADOR CAMPAIGN FEATURING TRAVIS BARKER
GUANGZHOU, China, Jan. 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Recently, GAC's independently developed Quark E-Drive power domain control system has achieved the world's first dual certification for deeply integrated ASIL D functional safety and information security, accredited by DAkkS, Germany's national accreditation body. The certification was evaluated and issued by SGS-CSTC Standards Technical Services Co., Ltd. (SGS), a globally recognized certification authority.
ISO 26262 is the internationally recognized core standard for automotive functional safety. Within this framework, ASIL D represents the highest automotive safety integrity level, requiring near-zero tolerance for safety-critical failures. Achieving an ASIL D certification accredited by DAkkS signifies that the certified product meets the highest globally accepted standards for automotive safety.
The certified Quark E-Drive power domain control system has been in production use since February 2025, and is now deployed across multiple models under GAC's brands - HYPTEC and AION. As the industry's first electric drive power domain system based on deep integration using a single main control chip, the solution significantly reduces chip count, minimizes risks associated with chip-level failures, and boosts motor controller efficiency to as high as 99.9%. The certification confirms that GAC has completed the system's full product development lifecycle in strict compliance with ISO 26262:2018 functional safety and ISO/SAE 21434:2021 information security standards.
Throughout the project, GAC Technology Research Center worked closely with SGS experts, strengthening safety design across all development phases while ensuring engineering feasibility and an optimal user experience.
Zhao Hui, Vice President of SGS China, commented: "The successful certification highlights GAC's strong team and robust development systems. We are pleased to support the safety of the Quark E-Drive and look forward to closer collaboration."
This milestone represents a major breakthrough for GAC in e-drive safety and sets a new global benchmark for the intelligent electric vehicle industry.
