How do Palm Angels Slides Fit?
We’re answering all the most common questions about Palm Angels slides, including their fit and everything you need to know about the shoes.
Meet Palm Angels
Palm Angels was founded in 2015 by Francesco Ragazzi. The designer launched his signature brand after working as Art Director for the legendary outwear brand, Moncler. Ragazzi was one of the first designers to bring the world of hip-hop and rap into luxury fashion, a blend that marked a watershed moment. Ragazzi led the way for the momentum that would see Virgil Abloh strive as Louis Vuitton’s lead designer.
The luxury fashion brand has now collaborated with everyone from Under Armour to Moncler Genius. Uniquely, the brand started as a photographic book, telling the story of LA’s skate culture in 2011. This aesthetic evolved to create the fashion brand, which launched with its first ready-to-wear collection for Fall/Winter 2015.
Palm Angels offers an Italian take on American culture and subcultures, blending classic European silhouettes with contemporary Los Angeles looks. The brand believes in using clothing “as identity tropes and cultural signifiers”.
The Palm Angels slides
These go-to athleisure shoes are inspired by the aesthetic of Venice Beach with an Italian-made design. The streetwear essentials are a must-have for every fashion aficionado, whether you’re chilling by the pool or heading to the gym.
With its easy-styling and slip-on silhouette, the Palm Angels slides are a style you can say no to. The most popular slides feature a contrasting Palm Angels logo, incorporating the signature logomania streetwear trend. These slides have a molded footbed for extra wearability with a practical and comfortable silhouette.
If you want an alternative to outdated flip flops and leather sandals, look no further than slides. These shoes have bridged the gap from athleisure to everyday wear, becoming the new flip-flops for millennials and Gen Z streetwear fans.
Sizing for the Palm Angels slides
When you’re buying designer shoes online, you want to make sure you’re choosing the correct size. Returns can be a hassle and styles can sell out quickly, meaning you want to grab the right size for you.
Palm Angels slides typically run true to size, so you don’t have to worry about sizing up for a comfortable fit. These slides are made using 100% rubber. It may take a little time (and sock wearing!) to turn these slides into your perfect fit. Gradually, the rubber will mold to your feet and become more comfortable with every wear.
