Since its inception in 1954, the Church of Scientology has been plagued with controversy, for issues such as its stance on psychiatry, its legitimacy as a religion (Hubbard famously said, “You don’t get rich writing science fiction.

And this past weekend at Coachella, Shawn Mendes made a convincing case that Palladium’s versatile and durable high-tops, which he paired with beige khakis and a white graphic tee, make for the perfect festival shoe.
