Anderson .Paak’s 2016 album Malibu brought him both critical acclaim and a Grammy nomination, setting him on the path to become Vans’ first Global Music Ambassador in 2020. The pair have collaborated in honour of his appointment, and this Sid DX is named after the record. Both texture and pattern are explored across the canvas uppers, which feature psychedelic black waves embroidered in plush chenille. The Flying-V logo and translucent waffle sole match — they’re apple green, inspired by the vibrancy of SoCal — while each liner is stamped with half of .Paak’s signature catchphrase, ‘Yes Lawd’.
