I just received an invite to purchase the new SeeVees shoe designed as an exclusive collaboration with Pantone. I love the vintage colors and casual style.
Here’s some of the highlights of the invitation:
For the first time in their 45 year history, Pantone has allowed an external design team into their hallowed archives. SeaVees has selected seven vintage colors from the original Pantone color guide. The palette, chosen from the only authentic guide known to exist, epitomizes the cool, casual style of California in 1963.
True to their inspiration, each SeaVees style is named to honor an influential date in 1960’s California-cool history.
With the creation of the 09/63, SeaVees celebrates the founding of Pantone, and the release of the first PANTONE MATCHING SYSTEM in September 1963. The series production has been restricted to 1,963 pairs.
These are available by invitation only until 11/24 but will be available to everyone after that. Check them out on SeeVees…
