The Village PM 1PM MID debuts as the centerpiece of the Paris-based brand’s Spring/Summer 2026 footwear campaign. Designed as a mid-top evolution of the label’s core silhouette, the shoe features a padded collar that dips lower at the back to improve comfort and ease of entry. The campaign also highlights two existing models, the original 1PM low-top and the canvas-based 1.30PM, expanding the brand’s lineup with variations suited for different materials and conditions.
All three models incorporate Village PM’s Rubber Glove Technology, which wraps climbing-inspired rubber around the toe and heel to improve durability and grip. The construction is paired with the brand’s Asymmetrical Precision Fit system, intended to support board control and long-term wear. Colorways across the campaign include navy, forest night and ash tones, while the 1.30PM introduces rough canvas uppers designed to fade and soften over time.
