always been evident through his unique style and JUZD is honoured to be considered one of his favorite brands!”

About Chris Bosh

Chris Bosh is unmistakably one of the National Basketball Association’s rising stars. After being drafted in the first round by the Toronto Raptors in 2003 Chris quickly established himself as the leader of his team and one of the most prolific basketball players in the world today. That leadership has extended off the court as Chris works tirelessly in the community to help children reach their educational and athletic goals. Shortly after entering into the NBA Chris established The Chris Bosh Foundation. The foundation has worked closely with organizations such as the Toronto Special Olympics to raise important funding for community projects.

Hot looks, Cool for the planet

JUZD (short for Juiced) was the first bamboo designer label. Said to be inspired by the legend of 1898, when the African Mountain Gorillas were discovered, each shirt in the JUZD collection has an exclusive design and is made from organic bamboo fabric. All JUZD T-shirts, such as the ones above, retail for $100 at Holt Renfrew stores across Canada. You can also buy their shirts directly from their website at www.juzd.com.

Liu, who was born in China and raised in Toronto, is earning a reputation in Canada’s fashion industry for his collaborative creative process. “I have designers all around the world, from Singapore to South America to Europe, who help develop one shirt,” says the baby-faced Liu, whose background is in computer programming. “I have five factories in China to create the shirt, bag, even the box.”
