Shane Boyer skates New York for Canada Goose.

For Canada Goose's Defy the Elements, Shane Boyer put the jacket where his work already lives — on a skateboard, in the weather, across the city. The @shaneboyerr x Canada Goose film sells the product by never pitching it.

Follower/like figures verified July 2026 (TikTok @shaneboyerr, Instagram @shaneboyer_). The Canada Goose film is Boyer's own #partner TikTok post.

Canada Goose builds for the weather, so it makes sense they went to Shane Boyer (@shaneboyerr) — a creator who has spent five years filming New York in every kind of light and season. His Defy the Elements film puts the jacket where his work already lives: on a board, in the cold, moving through the city with the brand simply in frame.

Boyer came up as a skater, and skate footage is still the spine of what he does for 2.5M+ followers. That heritage is exactly why the Canada Goose fit reads true — the jacket isn't styled onto a model, it's worn by someone actually skating a New York winter. The product earns its place by being useful in the shot.

The jacket in frame, never in a pitch

His Defy the Elements film is tagged #partner, but it doesn't behave like a spot. There's no hero shot of a price tag — just Boyer's usual cinematic New York with Canada Goose along for the ride. The brand borrows his credibility with a skate-and-city audience, and gets a film that looks like content those viewers already choose to watch.

The jacket doesn't get a pitch. It gets worn — in the weather, on a board, in his New York.

Why a heritage brand books a skater

Because reach without relevance is just noise. Boyer delivers a specific, hard-to-buy audience — people who follow POV New York and skate culture — and a look that makes technical outerwear feel lived-in rather than advertised. For a brand built on defying the elements, being shown surviving a real New York winter beats any studio lighting.

Why the Canada Goose fit works
  • Real use: the jacket is worn skating a real New York winter, not styled on a set.
  • Skate heritage gives the partnership built-in credibility.
  • #partner content that reads as his own cinematic city work.
  • A specific, hard-to-buy skate-and-city audience of 2.5M+.

It's the creator-led play at its most natural: match a product to the person whose life already contains it, and let the footage do the arguing. Canada Goose wanted proof it defies the elements. Boyer filmed it.

Five-plus years filming New York. That heritage is why a Canada Goose jacket on Boyer reads as lived-in — a real skater in a real winter, not a studio setup.
