This collection has been released in celebration of XLARGE's 30th anniversary in operation. This collection consists of two new colorways for the Campus 80 silhouette, including 'Mesa/Solar Red/Gum,' and 'Orbit Violet/Core Black/Chalk.' Each colorway leans into a different aspect of nostalgia and Los Angeles history, with inspiration dating back to the mid-to-late 20th century. The Solar Red colorway features a brown suede upper with three red lines spanning the middle of the upper. The insole of the shoe is covered in a cow-print design, giving this colorway a very 70s-inspired look. The second colorway features an Orbit Violet upper with black stripes and a black heel in the same pattern as the Solar Red shoe. The insole of this shoe also showcases a lavish cow-print, though this shoe appears to be more inspired by mid-century looks.
