Tame Impala Launches Limited Edition Shoe Collection With Sepatu Compass
The shoe collection is available for purchase in Indonesia now.
Tame Impala’s Kevin Parker has teamed up with Sepatu Compass to launch a limited edition shoe collection.
Sepatu Compass and Tame Impala’s new shoe collaboration, titled Artificial Vibration, is made up of three different types of trainers that represent a different Tame Impala song.
The first is a retrograde low shoe with a waveform pattern to represent “The Less I Know The Better,” while the other two designs are retrograde hi decons, one of which is a tie-dye pattern for “Yes I’m Changing,” and the third is a spectogram print for “Lost In Yesterday.” All three shoe types feature a tongue that can hold wireless headphones.
Tame Impala’s Kevin Parker wrote on Instagram, “Hey Indonesia, I’m honoured to announce this very special colab with Sepatu Compass , where they transformed my music into graphics! Super cool idea. Very limited run. Hope you manage to grab some x”.
Earlier this month, Parker confirmed a 2022 North American tour with dates that kick off February 27 with a headline slot at the Innings Festival at Tempe, AZ’s Tempe Beach Park.
On March 7, Tame Impala hit the road for a run of headline arena dates that conclude with another festival appearance at the Buku Music + Art Project in New Orleans, LA on March 25. The tour also hits the Okeechobee Music & Arts Festival, Scotiabank Arena in Toronto on March 9 and Brooklyn’s Barclays Center on March 14. Tickets are on sale now.
Tame Impala also recently shared “No Choice,” a track off the forthcoming The Slow Rush Deluxe Box Set which will be released on February 18, 2022 via Interscope.
The box set features B-Sides and remixes of his GRAMMY-nominated 2020 album. The physical version will feature two transparent red LP’s and alternate artwork including a 40-page booklet and The Slow Rush 2050 calendar. Both the physical and digital versions released on February 18 will feature another never-before-heard b-side “The Boat I Row,” the pre-album single “Patience” (both original and remix), plus additional extended versions and remixes.
