Designed in collaboration with funk music legend, artist, and Fluevog friend George Clinton, this gorgeous die struck soft enamel pin showcases the title of the iconic 1978 Funkadelic track in gold, on a flag featuring the Pan-African colours red, yellow, green, and black.

Here’s what George had to say about this special pin and the importance and relevance of some of the song’s lyrics today:
I’m happy we chose this theme for the lapel pin. If you’re a fan, you already know. “One Nation and we’re on the move” — the FUNK transcends cultures, backgrounds, and experiences. “With the Groove our only guide” we honor our history, celebrate the present, and shape the future. “Nothin’ can stop us now” because the melodies of the past are needed to inspire our steps today and help to pave the way to a future of inclusion and justice. It’s needed now more than ever.
The limited edition One Nation Under A Groove enamel pin is available in stores and online now. All proceeds will go to support Clinton College, an HBCU located in South Carolina.
