I'm sure it's been said already, but the Bradshaw/AXO/'90s-inspired Fox gear for Roczen was something special. Brought me back. MX nostalgia...what's not to like?

I thought it was interesting that Fox did throwback AXO gear.

Maybe with AXO going by the wayside they were able to do it with no issues?

Maybe it was a tribute to Jim Hale? Pete Fox said He was inspired and was impressed by AXO in the 90s.

Has fox stated it was AXO throwback? Can't deny the resemblance, but it's only the colors that are the same. Companies copy color combos and design influences from the others all the time.

I can't imagine that AXO holds a copyright over a look or color combo, but I thought it was interesting too. A cool shoutout if anything, even if they didn't specifically say it. But I thought it was funny that Fox drew upon another company's '90s design rather than their own from the same era.

I was never really a big fan of the Fox stuff from that time (which was more grunge-inspired with a lot of earth tones and ragged lines) save for the Team Honda/1-800-COLLECT stuff from 1995. 1996 was good too, much cleaner lines but the original '95 gear was BA Baracus.

AXO(and BRADSHAW) was badass. Only Roczen is worthy of replication.

Didn’t like it then or now. But i never liked much of the colours and styles of the 90’s. Don’t have a problem that other people did like it though.

Like the gear but the price is absolutely ridiculous. $230 for pants and a $90 Jersey. Over 3 bills and that's not including gloves or boots. Same for the TLD Adidas gear, I'm sure both companies will sell out but not to me. Don't get me started on $100+ goggles.... Yikes.

Roczen actually said it was an AXO throwback in an IG post.. I was surprised he actually used the "A" word, being a Fox rider.. but the explanation above about Jim Hale makes sense...

I'll stick with the gear that I can get for $110 with gloves.
