Nigel Sylvester has had one hell of a 2025. Not only did his “Brick by Brick” 4s win Sneaker of the Year, the professional BMX athlete also kicked off a new partnership with McDonald’s during his annual GO RIDE event. Sylvester and McDonald’s are now continuing their partnership with the release of a “Employee of the Month” merch collaboration, inspired by his journey from a McDonald’s Crew member to a world-class athlete and creative powerhouse.
The collection fuses classic streetwear style with the brand’s iconic heritage for fans who turn the everyday grind into greatness. Tees, long-sleeves, and hoodies arrive in a red, olive, black, and white color palette, matching the colors of his recent Air Jordan collabs. A standout piece is the zip-up collared jacket in McDonald’s signature red hue.
“Employee of the Month” often means clocking in, checking boxes, and doing what is expected. Nigel Sylvester is reimagining the term – turning it into a symbol for the dreamers, creatives, and hustlers who defy the odds and carve their own lanes to success.
“Before I was a professional BMX athlete, I was one of the 1 in 8 Americans who worked at a McDonald’s restaurant – something I’m proud of to this day. That experience taught me responsibility, attention to detail, and the power of community – lessons I carried straight into my BMX career,” says Nigel Sylvester. “This collection is my tribute to those early days, the grind, dedication, and audacity it takes to will your dreams to reality.”
The Nigel Sylvester x McDonald’s “Employee of the Month” merch capsule drops December 5th at 10am ET on everythingongo.com. Check out the lookbook starring stylist and content creator Cjay Syre below.
