Vans just announced that fellow California native, Anderson .Paak, would be stepping in as their first Global Music Ambassador. With a shared love for creative expression through art and music, this partnership is a match made in… well, California!

Check them out, and a sneak peek at the next month’s launch, in .Paak’s animated video for his newest single ‘JEWELZ’:

Shop the style now, and stay tuned for another drop later this season!
