Vandy The Pink

Vandy’s been operating under the surface of the streetwear scene for the better part of a decade. His work draws on the sensibilities of those before him (A Bathing Ape, The Hundreds), and combines them into a rich pastiche of late-90’s / early-00’s nostalgia.

Building on the visual language of a brand that borrows from bootleg culture, we created a small collection using flips of logos from racing brands and their sponsors. 

Amongst this was a project flipping logos found on stickers on Tetsuo and Kaneda’s iconic bikes from the definitively genre-defining Akira. The result is this racing-inspired varsity with references to Akira and biking brands.
