Buffalo Nickel Wristband

Adorn your fit with a bit of American history and our single wrap Buffalo nickel wristband. 

The inspiration:

We all face storms in life—challenges that test our strength, resilience, and determination. 

When a storm approaches, most animals run away, hoping to escape it. Cows, for example, move in the same direction as the storm, only prolonging their struggle and suffering.

Buffalo, however, do something remarkable. Instead of running away, they turn and charge directly into the storm. With their heads down and shoulders bowed, they brace themselves against the wind and push forward. By facing the storm head-on, they move through it faster, minimizing the struggle and emerging stronger on the other side.

We don’t get to choose our storms, but we do get to choose how we face them. When we confront our challenges with courage, we don’t just survive—we grow, forging a stronger, wiser version of ourselves.

Which way will you run?
