Palace x Evisu drops by dropping bars from legendary London jungle artist, MC Skibdee
The Japanese denim legends Evisu team up with Palace. The result? Just is as weird and as wonderful as we would have hoped. And their way of showing it off weirder, wonderfuller (sic) and somewhat psycho(delic).
Meanwhile, over on the Instagram
Over in the Instagrams the other day, something was not right. On the Palace feed, there was a little vid of a couple of guys hotboxing it in an old VW Golf. Fitting. On brand. No worries. But then, up pops the seagull that I’ve swooned over since the 90s, huh? Then more huh! “Palace” where “Evisu” should be. Either the Palace boys were in for one hell of a lawsuit. Ir it was a collab about to drop.
No one’s getting sued
But what’s with the Golf? Well, we got our answer to that today when the pieces went online. To set some sorta mood for the whole thing, the guys filmed a little short that sets us right in the context. It’s gritty, it’s street and its that 90s kinda trippy. In the minute-long video, we’re taken from a service station to a 1980’s cartoon credits. All the while MC Skibdee rhymes away at breakneck speed.
Making the old folks all nostalgic
For the younguns around us, this might seem quite odd. But it is the perfect homage to the role Evisu played in the London club scene back around the time you were conceived.
