Not just a skate brand, but a skate brand that embodies the quintessence of London, relative upstarts Thames deliver their initial drop for AW16. Heavily inspired by 70s punk and his formative Southbank skating haunt, the label’s founder and Palace stalwart Blondey McCoy, sculpts relaxed streetwear silhouettes with a decidedly playful, tongue-in-cheek directive. The Overdyed Sweat Pant signals a maturity in McCoy’s outlook, delivering a variety of contrasting fabrics and manufacturing techniques, while retaining the street credentials found at the heart of the collection.
