melin x John Hunter Nemechek
Strictly Business
To race at the highest level, you need to dedicate yourself and take your craft seriously. But along the way when you embrace the idea of having fun and recognize the importance of camaraderie, this can lead to even greater success. This mentality is what drew us to JHN, something we share with him and have watched as he’s risen through the ranks of the racing circuit to the big time, the NASCAR Cup Series. JHN’s mindset leaves us in awe. He immerses himself into his work throughout the week to bring his best on the weekend. That commitment isn’t just to his craft though, he’s also a dedicated family man and enjoys spending time with friends enjoying the fun things life has to offer.
The Mindset Collection
This isn’t the first hat we crafted in collaboration with John Hunter and it won’t be our last…but this one is definitely special. It merges his classic Mindset with his mantra, Strictly Business, brought to life through an iconic, throwback racing design. JHN has been a long standing member of the melin Fam, dating back to his days in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series. At the time we began working on this hat together, JHN was in the middle of his historic run in the Xfinity Series - 7 wins, 17 top 5 finishes and 24 top 10 finishes. His hard work and dedication paid off, when this HYDRO Odyssey Mindset launched, JHN was now spending his Sundays racing in the NASCAR Cup Series.
Putting It To The Test
We’re stoked to have JHN a part of the melin Fam. We’ve talked about his accolades on the track but we truly admire what he does off of it just as much. A great husband and father of two, rips behind a boat and not too bad on a golf course...and not sure if you saw what he did in his fire suit on a skateboard recently. Check his IG if you haven’t, he can do it all. His go-to shape is the Odyssey and spending most of his time in warmer weather, in the gym or on the water, the HYDRO Collection has been a staple for him. He’s put it to the test for us and lap after lap, it comes up clean.
Never Miss Out
Looks like everyone had the right mindset and grabbed this hat as quickly as JHN can take a lap around the track. Although it’s now sold out, you don’t have to miss the next one. Make sure to sign up for Early Access to be the first to hear about future releases.
