Anderson .Paak and Vans Partner on Upcoming "Vanderson" Collection
Published: June 13, 2022By: Andrea SacalImages: Vans

2022 has been busy, busy, busy for Anderson .Paak. From spinning records as DJ Pee .Wee to holding his ground alongside Bruno Mars in the two-man R&B group Silk Sonic, the artist has been hard at work dropping beats left and right. Besides juggling his music career, Anderson .Paak has returned to the fashion stage to present his third collaboration with Vans titled "Vanderson."
The collection consists of footwear, apparel and accessories that reflect inspirations of heritage and community. The sneaker range is led by the Vans EPaak Sport outfitted in a black paisley pattern with a velvet finish. The tongues are where it's at as this pair is matched with a patch of an angry ape grasping a lightning bolt atop the word "APESHIT" which replaces the traditional logo.
The Old Skool 36 and the Authentic wrap up the footwear offering as the latter is doused in beige paisley and matching interiors, while its counterpart features a moss green corduroy upper and dual tongue patch options. These include an emblem of .Paak's face or cheerful "Vanderson" lettering.
In the apparel category, tees see spirited graphics, jackets and trousers arrive in green paisley print and bucket hats don the imprint in sandy tones.
The Anderson .Paak x Vans “Vanderson” collection will launch globally via vans.com and at select retailers on June 24th.
