Since VandyThePink's inception in 2017, the brand has kept a tightly knit group of retail partners with only 5 official retail partners, making it one of the world’s hardest brands to find in a retail store. With Drop Out Store now an official stockist, this makes them the official 6th retail partner for VandyThePink in the world, and the only retail partner in the Southern Hemisphere - a huge achievement!
VandyThePink was established by Junghoon Son, a Korean-born Virginia-based designer who caught the attention of streetwear moguls on a global scale. Referencing Son’s lived experiences, his collection is heavily influenced by memories and items he collected such as souvenirs & toys. VandyThePink’s playful demeanour is seen across their entire range.
After the release of his original and iconic 'Burger' sneaker, the brand rose to fame with lots of recognition from a community of foodies. Since this release, VandyThePink has continued to create other iterations referencing food such as sushi, tofu & kakigori to name a few. Alongside VandyThePink’s continued rise to stardom, the brand also collaborated with some of the world’s most recognised labels. One of their most successful collaborations was with Clarks Originals, with an iteration of their “Burger” sneaker, but in the form of the classic Clarks Wallabee. Other collaborations include McDonald’s, Billionaire Boys Club, Hello Kitty & ComplexCon.
