VILLAGE PM
・ Launched: 2024
・ Country of Origin: France
・ Known For: Performance-driven skate footwear, climbing-inspired construction, and progressive design
Paris-based footwear label founded by skaters Basile Lapray and Bram De Cleen, Village PM approaches skate shoes from a different perspective.
Drawing from climbing and outdoor footwear technology, the brand develops skate shoes with a focus on grip, durability, precision, and comfort. Its signature Rubber Glove Technology™ wraps high-friction climbing rubber around key areas of the shoe, while its Asymmetrical Precision Fit™ is designed for a more precise fit and feel.
Rather than treating skate shoes simply as sports equipment, Village PM aims to create footwear that can be worn as part of everyday life. Each design balances performance with a clean, understated aesthetic, bringing together function and form without relying heavily on branding.
