The art of collaboration is not new neither to music artists nor fashion brands. With works like Kanye’s collab with Adidas for Yeezy, the notorious Lil Nas X’s Satan Nike and Travis Scott x Air Jordan 1, the idea of different teams working together is not new. To that list now joins Anderson .Paak, who teamed up with Vans for a new campaign coming out this summer.
Anderson .Paak “best collection” to date
Anderson .Paak announced the partnership with an Instagram post
“I been working on this new #vanderson by anderson .paak collection for two years and its finally coming out!” said the artist on his profile. He then went on thanking Vans for the opportunity: “I wanna thank my team and everybody at @vans for dealing with me and all my crazy demands. i put my heart and soul into this drop ( literally )!! cant wait to see it on you and your beautiful families!”
Anderson .Paak also explained how the partnership was created during the last two years. Vans released a formal statement in which .Paak mentioned that this is the best collection he’s put out to date.
“Vans was super patient with me on this one. We met every week in Malibu and designed these shoes in the California sunshine. This is my best drop yet and I’m so proud of what we’ve come up with!”
Vans’ Director of Global Music Marketing Tierney Stout showed his enthusiasm in a statement as well:
“We are beyond excited to continue this creative journey with AP into this next product collaboration. Anderson was incredibly hands-on in the design and development of every piece in this collection and the final product is both a labor of love for AP and the Vans team. Anderson embodies everything this brand stands for –– authenticity, optimistic imagination, and creativity –– and we are honored to have him as part of our family.”
The collection came out on June 24. It is available worldwide both at elect Vans retailers and at Vans.com.
The collection includes 11 pieces of clothing. From shoes to hats, from socks to Jackets, the collab presents a variety of pieces to satisfy everyone’s requests.
