“Dare To Win” for The Dedicated Individuals.
Compass® proudly presents its second Artist Project: Dare To Win, a bold collaboration with street artist Darbotz, that celebrates hardworking individuals who embrace everyday challenges with relentless ambition.
Following the success of our 2021 collaboration with artist Jason Ranti, we recognized a shared rebellious spirit in Darbotz’s work - making him the natural choice for Compass®’s next Artist Project. Darbotz’s Monstrous Ball character, a recognizable icon in Jakarta’s visual landscape, serves as an alter ego that helps him navigate the chaos of the city.
Drawing inspiration from the grit it takes to thrive in the city
Darbotz and Compass® present a collaboration that reflects how everyday people confront challenges and adapt to Jakarta’s dynamic landscape.
With over 70% of Jakarta’s population in their productive years, the city is intensely competitive. Thousands of hardworking individuals chase the same opportunities, pushing themselves daily, not just to keep up, but to earn what they’ve long fought for.
Amid the hustle, Dare To Win made its debut on October 25, 2024 - a call to not just endure, but to rise and keep moving with ambition. In this collaboration, Compass® presents the iconic Tribune® silhouette in black mesh and suede, accented with bold white details. The heel tab features Darbotz’s signature monstrous character, while the tooth-shaped shoelace clip adds a unique and playful touch. Inspired by classic football boots, this pair also includes a detachable flap tongue, offering a versatile look that blends sport, street, and statement.

The gritty and spontaneous character of street art are expressed through rough-edged canvas twill on the side trim and individually hand-splattered paint across the toe box — giving each pair a distinct, one-of-a-kind identity.
The complete COMPASS® & Darbotz “Dare to Win” collection was released on October 25, 2024.
