No. Ditch your old spine-misaligning wallet for something sleeker, slimmer, and far more stylish.

P.F. F.yers Home and Away collection steeped in nostalgia
PF Flyers Home and Away jacket

P.F. Flyers is a brand that sparks nostalgia in every corner of its catalogue. From footwear that recalls the mid-century athletes to shoes many of us saw for the first time on the feet of Benny "The Jet" Rodriguez in The Sandlot. Of course, since those landed in our cultural lexicon thirty years ago, the brand has continued to corner the market in nostalgia. They are looking to do it again with their new collection, which pays homage to the mid-1900s sports apparel. The P.F. Flyers Home and Away collection reimagines the iconic Center shoe, with nods to vintage, home-and-away varsity jerseys, as well as a vintage-inspired apparel collection.

The time is right for yesterday

Pacsun x Ford jacket

Are you a Mustang guy? Putting the top down and letting the wind blow through your hair as you cruise the Pacific Coast Highway from Seattle to San Diego. Or a Shelby GT-500, an Eleanor of your own, trying to reach top speed with nothing but freedom in the pedal. Maybe you are a Thunderbird guy, cruising through town in your '55 with the white walls and listening to the Four Seasons with your girl on your arm. Or maybe you are an F-150 guy. No nonsense, hardworking, gets stuff done before going home for an iced tea on the back porch watching the sunset. Either way, there is nothing more American than a Ford. And their new collaboration with Pacsun takes us back to 1970s America. The Pacsun x Ford collection consists of jackets, tees, hats, and shorts that have a distinctly Motor City feel. But there is one piece that feels more symbolic than the rest.
