Like most from her generation (myself proper), Sandy Liang grew up alongside the colorful characters of Bikini Bottom. And to pay tribute to the decamp she’s loved for decades, the New York based designer is teaming up with Vans on a commemorative capsule.

Inclusive of footwear and apparel, the collection bridges elements from both Liang’s and SpongeBob‘Vans Alumni Pack 5 Sk8-Hi 38 DXs, for example, patchworks together the cartoon series’ recognizable clouds with classic heritage-inspired prints. 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 opposite, layers the squirrel’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 Features also accompanies immediately below.
