Graphic concept

The King Zydeco II is available in two colorways: the new Bayou and the iconic Orange Safari.

The Bayou colorway is inspired by the green of vintage muscle cars, while the Orange Safari pays homage to the boldest striping in rally car history.

Both colorways retain the visual element of the Ghost-C. The Ghost-C is the shape obtained by contouring the iconic Winged-C, stripped of Cinelli's internal design.

The resulting shape recalls both the iconic Cinelli Winged-C and the hand-painted numbers on 1950s racing cars.

-Branding Ghost-C

-Color inspired by the stripes of super-fast rally cars and the colors of muscle cars
