Village PM – from the Alps to the concrete

Village PM was founded in Paris in 2023 – born out of a combination of passion, technical expertise, and a healthy dose of skate spirit. Behind the brand are Basile Lapray and Bram de Cleen, two visionaries of the scene who, together with footwear expert Julien Traverse and his innovation agency All Triangles, heralded a new era for skate shoes. In a small workshop in the French Alps, the idea of redefining skateboarding through high-performance designs began.

What began as an experiment in a workshop quickly developed into a revolution: Village PM transfers outdoor technologies to skateboard shoes. The team behind the brand had previously spent years working to push the boundaries of outdoor performance, and all this knowledge flowed directly into the development of Village PM. Grip, shock absorption, and abrasion resistance are not just marketing phrases here, but the result of technical research.

Skateboarding reimagined

Skateboarding deserves shoes that think for themselves – and that’s where Village PM comes in. Instead of recycling retro designs, Village PM creates something truly new: a combination of functionality and aesthetics. The brand stands for the credo “Skateboarding deserves progressive footwear.” Each model is the result of thoughtful development and uncompromising performance.

Technology meets passion

At the heart of Village PM’s design philosophy is the combination of precision, comfort, and control. The so-called Rubber Glove Construction combines a flexible outsole, comfortable cushioning, and a protective rubber rand in a seamless design. The Climbing Rubber edge extends from the base to the most stressed areas, providing exceptional grip inspired by climbing shoes and adapted to the demands of everyday skateboarding.

Fit with character

A special highlight is the Asymmetrical Precision Fit technology. Village PM has developed its own lasts that adapt to the natural shape of the foot. The result: a shoe that feels like a second skin and offers maximum control on the board. This tailor-made fit combines performance and comfort at the highest level and is a trademark of Village PM.

Function with style

Village PM brings innovation not only on a technical level, but also on a visual level. Models such as the 1PM or 1.30PM impress with their clean lines, modern colors, and sturdy fabrics. The design balances street style and functional performance, showcasing a look that works both on the board and in everyday life.

Authentic, durable, independent

Village PM stands for independence and authenticity. Instead of following the mainstream, the brand follows its own vision—honest, technical, and sustainable. Durability is not a side effect, but the core of the brand. The shoes are designed to be repairable, which not only conserves resources but also extends their lifespan.
