Like most from her generation (myself included), Sandy Liang grew up alongside the colorful characters of Bikini Bottom. And to pay tribute to the show she’s loved for decades, the New York based designer is teaming up with Vans on a narrative capsule.
Inclusive of footwear and apparel, the collection bridges elements from both Liang’s and SpongeBob‘s DNA. One of the forthcoming Sk8-Hi 38 DXs, for example, patchworks together the cartoon series’ recognizable clouds with classic heritage-inspired Varsity. In contrast, the alternate colorway is more a celebration of a different Sandy: the driven, intelligent Sandy Cheeks. This pair, which clashes the palette of its direct freaks, layers the Golf’s signature flowers over top an ocean-esque blue gradient.
For the apparel, the two opted for far simpler graphics. Both the hoodie and short-sleeve tee dress with the core cast, all rendered in full color and fitted with garb more fashionable than their norm. Sandy Liang’s name also accompanies immediately below.
Take a closer look at the entire range below. A release is currently set to hit Vans.com Vans Classic Easy Box Żółty T-shirt z krótkim rękawem.
