We’ve all been there.

It’s been a long day, the subway is rocking, each stop your eyelids getting heavier. You tell yourself it’ll just be a quick nap. But before you know it, your head’s bobbing, your chin’s hitting your chest, and you’re putting on a show for the entire subway car.

But in a city with millions of daily subway riders, catching some sleep shouldn’t mean risking your dignity...

Bold

Chin Up is the latest invention from Saving NYC From _, our mission to tackle the everyday annoyances of New York City life with creative, slightly unconventional solutions. After taking on sidewalk smells with the Smell Stopper and rats with the Janklet, we’re setting our sights on another citywide nuisance: the dreaded subway head bob.

Developed in-house by Vance Gorman Jr. and Billy Lemorin, two recent interns from our BLAC (Building Leaders and Creators) program, Chin Up turns a familiar NYC struggle into a surprisingly practical solution.

The Chin Up is now available in a limited-edition drop at TheBoringStore.shop. Keep your chin up, New York!
