Leaning into the joint Mexican heritage that’s ingrained in the city, LAFC have partnered with LA streetwear brand Paisa Boys have revealed a new collaborative collection, which is the first of two drops together.
The influence of Mexico is felt throughout Los Angeles, and it comes to the fore in the new collaboration from LAFC and Los Angeles based street wear brand PAISABOYS, who drop the first of two apparel collections that blend the iconic Black and Gold of LAFC with the classic Mexican American designs and attitude that PAISABOYS has become known for, born from Joey Barba & Javi Banderas’ – the brand’s founders – upbringings in Los Angeles, where they continue to work with their immigrant fathers who hold manual labor jobs. In turn, their shared experience and upbringings have shaped the authentic and unapologetic edge to the brand’s designs and cultural relevance.
The LAFC x PAISABOYS collection includes the Al Cien hoodie, Sueños t-shirt, LAFC x PB snapback hat and the Sueños double-sided scarf. Each piece was thoughtfully designed to represent the City and Club, with tags that resonate with the deep-rooted Latino influence that courses through both brands.
“LAFC prides itself on elevating the next wave of fashion and creative brands and artists from the Los Angeles community while telling stories that resonate with our fans,” said LAFC VP of Brand Engagement & Merchandise, Patrick Aviles. “Representing the large Mexican community of Los Angeles, PAISABOYS bring their grit and edge to the world of streetwear fashion with that same relentless drive to achieve their dreams. This collection draws inspiration from the pride of Mexican-American heritage and the determination of the immigrant spirit. Similar to LAFC, PAISABOYS have built a strong following in the community and are poised to share their visions and creativity with the world.”
The limited LAFC x Paisa Boys collection is available on PAISABOYS.com and MLSStore.com
