The New Coutié x Vans Colab is Outta Control
The term ‘influencer’ has become less and less defined of late. If to influence is to exercise power, who’s really in charge in our influencer-driven media - the individual or the brand paying their bills? The value of personal opinion as social currency has diminished in a world dictated by actual currency, and you can no longer be certain if anyone actually has any emotional attachment to the products they’re spruiking.
‘Control is an Illusion’ is the latest collaboration between Coutié and , and it postulates that same sentiment. Is control exercised or do we simply submit for lack of a better option? The simple black makes its statement boldly, with a popping orange Jazz Stripe and white text.
The Coutié x Vans Old Skool can be pre-ordered via between 21 and 29 October.
