P.A.M. x Vans Collection
Founded by Misha Hollenbach and Shauna Toohey, Melbourne imprint Perks and Mini (P.A.M.) has been serving up cutting-edge streetwear for over two decades. Certified OGs, P.A.M. are now hooking up with Vans for a botanic, psychedelic interpretation of two classic models, the Authentic and Slip-On, as well as some equally psychedelic apparel and accessories.
For the Authentic, P.A.M. has opted for a violet palette on the OG vulcanised waffle outsole, with a blast of radiant orange florets adding further personality. Up top, the classic low-top skate design utilises the checkerboard pattern on the durable canvas uppers, while the black laces are again fed through metal eyelets.
The ‘trip’ continues on the Vans Slip-On, where flowering violet plants enliven the same checkerboard pattern. Down below, the collaboration is kept a little more classic, with clean white midsoles featuring earthy brown flowers on the underside.
The apparel features the same extreme attention to detail, with tons of branding and even some hidden secrets throughout the tees, jacket, cap and gaitor. Each item see's P.A.M.'s signature floral motifs and whimsical, hallucinogenic themes.
