AN EXPLORATION IN ADVENTURE.

The Logo

Representing an uppercase rounded “A” inspired by the Appalachian Mountains, and a lowercase cursive “S” inspired by waves from whitewater and coastlines.



While the brand was born in the mountains of North Carolina, the idea of mountains, rivers, coastlines, good vibes, and high fives stretches far outside any imaginary borderline on a map. The friends and family who share Après State’s passion stretch far across the globe and we’re grateful to be a part of such a great community!

The Name

We admit the brand name came from the ski scene. Après is of course French for “After”, and the term Après Ski has a huge presence in the snow sports community, especially in Europe.

We view it as much more of an all encompassing idea.



It’s capturing that energy post-anything and celebrating those moments that live forever. Those first tracks, that concert your bud had an extra ticket to, the day you cleaned your line and no one was around to see it….

Grab that energy in the moment, fully live it, and celebrate it afterward.



It’s in the after state where your adventures live forever.
