Loewe Leo: Where Luxury Audio Meets Athletic Grace – A VGBND Case Study
A VGBND Production | Madrid, September 2025
In the ever-evolving world of luxury branding, where innovation harmonizes with timeless elegance, storytelling emerges as the ultimate differentiator. This May, VGBND Production Services partnered with Zebra Valley—the visionary creative studio founded by global soccer icon Kylian Mbappé—to bring Loewe's groundbreaking "Travel Beyond Sound" campaign to life. Directed by the acclaimed Tim Groetzinger and David Merlin-Dufey, and shot in Madrid, this global commercial masterfully weaves together German engineering precision, peak human performance, and profound emotional depth. As leaders in film and TV production services, VGBND seamlessly orchestrated this high-stakes project, blending creative ingenuity with logistical expertise to deliver a narrative that resonates worldwide.
The Legacy of Loewe: A Century of Technical Mastery
Established in 1923 in Germany, Loewe has long been a beacon of excellence in luxury audiovisual design, crafting products that transcend mere functionality to become enduring icons of sophistication. Renowned for its commitment to sustainable craftsmanship, minimalist aesthetics, and cutting-edge engineering, the brand has redefined "technical luxury" across televisions, sound systems, and now, personal audio. The Loewe Leo headphones mark a bold evolution, Loewe's inaugural foray into over-ear designs, fusing acoustic brilliance with the brand's heritage of precision and emotional resonance.
As Aslan Khabliev, CEO and Owner of Loewe Technology, eloquently states: "With Loewe Leo, we’ve created more than just headphones—it's a portal to immersive experiences that blend technology with human emotion."
The Icon: Kylian Mbappé's Unmatched Energy
At the heart of the campaign stands Kylian Mbappé, the French soccer sensation whose accolades include a FIFA World Cup victory in 2018 and a starring role as forward for Real Madrid. Embodying focus, agility, and visionary drive, Mbappé mirrors the dynamic essence of Loewe's audio innovation. Through his production company, Zebra Valley—launched in 2022 to inspire the next generation via scripted, non-scripted, and animated content—Mbappé collaborated closely on this project, infusing it with authenticity and global appeal.
"Kylian embodies the spirit of Travel Beyond Sound: moving through the world while being transported by the immersive, precise sound of Loewe," notes Khabliev.
Mbappé himself reflects: "Music helps me stay focused and connected to myself. With Loewe Leo, I can take that feeling with me everywhere—it’s like carrying my own universe of sound."
This collaboration builds on VGBND's storied history of partnering with elite athletes, from tennis legends Rafael Nadal and Carlos Alcaraz to soccer greats Roberto Carlos and Vinícius Jr. Our expertise in sports marketing productions and celebrity endorsements ensures every frame captures the raw intensity and inspiration these icons bring.
