Audemars Piguet and AMBUSH Rework the Royal Oak Concept Flying Tourbillon

More than a traditional luxury collaboration, the project positions watchmaking as a meeting point between fashion, music, and cultural identity. The red tourbillon, visible at six o’clock, acts as both symbolic center and kinetic focal point, while interchangeable black and red rubber straps reinforce the watch’s duality between restraint and expression. Rooted in Yoon and Verbal’s long-standing fascination with craftsmanship and subcultural aesthetics, the collaboration continues the Royal Oak Concept’s legacy as a platform for experimentation, merging haute horology with contemporary creative practice.

Vans and *Better With Age Turn Classics Into Collectibles

May 19, 2026

There’s something fitting about Vans linking with *Better With Age. Both brands, in their own way, understand the value of wear and tear. Now, the Los Angeles label founded by Remy Milchman is bringing that philosophy directly to two of Vans’ most recognizable silhouettes through a new collaboration which debuted at Dover Street Market London.

What makes the project feel especially aligned with *Better With Age’s universe, is the emphasis on individuality. Customers purchasing pairs at Dover Street Market London will be able to customize their shoes on-site using vintage patches and brass letter beads, transforming each pair into a genuine one-off. The activation pushes the collaboration beyond standard footwear release territory and into something closer to an ongoing object.

That idea has long sat at the center of Milchman’s work. Since launching *Better With Age, the designer has built a following through reconstructed Americana pieces that combine vintage, luxury, and sustainability without falling into the self-seriousness that often surrounds upcycled fashion. His collections consistently repurpose reclaimed fabrics, vintage garments, and recycled materials, treating old clothing less like deadstock and more like raw material for reinvention.

Rather than reinventing the wheel, the partnership leans into the quiet beauty of aging things well. The Vans LX Authentic 44 arrives in a navy-and-white colorway intentionally treated to look sun-worn, complete with a yellowed sole, faded upper, and custom leather branding details that feel pulled from another era. The LX Half-Cab 33 takes a slightly heavier approach, pairing black suede with tassel detailing, co-branded leather labels, and the same vintage-tinted sole treatment that runs throughout the collection.
