Urban Jungle: where city meets the wild

In the world of streetwear and contemporary design, few artists command the kind of cult following and creative credibility as Mark Ong, better known by his moniker Mr. Sabotage. Born and raised in Singapore, Ong built his name on a unique artistic obsession mastering the art of camouflage. What started as a hobby, meticulously painting camouflage patterns onto sneakers, quickly spiraled into a full-fledged design identity. Those early experiments transformed into a signature style that’s unmistakably his: bold, raw, and deeply connected to the environments it draws from.

For Ong, camouflage is more than a pattern, it’s a form of visual storytelling. It represents the duality of standing out while blending in, of navigating the tension between chaos and control in modern life. His distinctive work has earned him a global reputation in street culture, footwear customization, and fashion, where his designs command attention not just for their aesthetic, but for the cultural conversation they spark.

Now, in an exciting and unexpected collaboration, Mark Ong brings his creative vision to Helinox, the premium outdoor gear brand known for blending cutting-edge technical design with lifestyle-driven aesthetics. The result is Xray Tiger Camo, a bold reinterpretation of traditional camouflage that fuses Ong’s streetwear roots with Helinox’s spirit of outdoor adventure.

Xray Tiger Camo is an arresting composition of flowing, irregular lines reminiscent of tiger stripes, expressed in deep blacks, earthy greens, and rich browns. This dynamic pattern captures movement and energy, a visual echo of the restless pulse of both the wilderness and the city streets. It’s a print made for contrasts, just as comfortable draped across a Helinox Chair One beside a forest trail as it is making a statement in the heart of a concrete jungle.

For Ong, the design is deeply intentional.

This collaboration is about more than just aesthetics; it’s about storytelling, identity, and belonging. The pattern reflects Ong’s ability to navigate different worlds: outdoor and urban, East and West, tradition and rebellion — capturing that rare balance where utility meets art.

In every line, color, and curve of the Xray Tiger Camo, you see the mark of a streetwear artist who has transformed a pattern of concealment into a symbol of bold, confident individuality. Through Helinox, this pattern finds a new canvas, inviting people to carry a piece of that visual story on their own journeys, wherever they may lead.

Mark Ong x Helinox is not just a collaboration, it’s a statement of creative freedom, cultural fusion, and design without boundaries.
