Summer continues to crank up the heat, so see what some of the coolest celebs — from T-Pain to Anderson .Paak to Sue Bird — have been doing to beat the heat.
1 of 52Anderson .Paak
The Fourth of July is over, but the summer has just begun. It’s the week of July 11 – 17, a particularly hot one for some of your favorite stars. With the temperatures soaring upwards to the 80s and 90s (and the triple-digits in the southwest), it’s enough to make you sweat. Thankfully, some of your faves are finding ways to keep their cool as the sunny season rages on.
Take Anderson .Paak, here. As part of arguably the hottest band of the moment – Silk Sonic – Anderson knows how to keep the beat when the pressure’s on and the thermostat’s rising. Helping him stay “cool” is his “Vanderson” collection with Vans. Often, Anderson’s creative projects pay homage to icons of the past by fusing the lessons their art offers with his unique methods of creative expression. This is why he was the perfect pick for the ‘Classic Since Forever’ campaign.
Consisting of Vans’ most timeless styles — the Authentic, Era, Slip-On, Sk8 Hi and Old Skool, some of which were included in the recent “Vanderson” collection — all done up in familiar color schemes, the Vans Classics line was made for free spirits, innovators, creators and anyone anywhere in the world with an “Off the Wall” mindset of their own.
Each pair in the Vans Classics line is spotlighted in a new lookbook and short video that shows .Paak drumming in full ‘70s-inspired Silk Sonic regalia, including his signature mushroom wig. The pairs shown in the video are available now via
