Anyone, anywhere. Shoes for any occasion.
Alex Nost, an artist and musician, and LeeAnn Cullen, whose father is legendary surfer Tom Cullen. Both are members of the "Vans" family and have established their own unique position in the surfing world.
The two are old acquaintances who have not only surfing in common, but also close creative minds, having produced music together for the surf video "Tan Madonna" directed by Alex.
Alex and LeeAnne have worked with Vans to create this collection. The design sources were surf advertisements, movies, concert screen prints, and album jackets from the 1990s.
The core of the collection is the shoes, which are the focus of the duo's strong attention to detail. First is the "COLFAX LOW," based on glossy full-grain leather. The original was a boot-type shoe that covered the ankle, but it is now a low-cut version that can be worn on any occasion.
Of course, the functionality remains the same. The translucent, oversized outsole not only adds to the design, but also maximizes grip, whether on rocky shores or rain-slicked concrete in the city.
The all-leather look makes them look like leather shoes, so you may find a new way to enjoy "Vans" by pairing them with a clean look.
STYLE 36 DECON" features a design that is a reissue of its "OLD SKOOL" predecessor. It is a familiar look, yet somehow classical, because of that.
While rubber is used to reinforce areas prone to wear and tear, the color scheme and the "Vans" embroidery on the heel are also eye-catching details that overflow with a sense of fun.
The lineup also includes earth-friendly models such as the SLIP-ON, which features a woven design in organic canvas, and the CircleVee, which has an upper made of a mix of renewable hemp and organic cotton and an outsole made of natural rubber.
Surfing takes place in the ocean, so the word "sustainable" is essential to this collection in terms of keeping the playground clean.
All items are genderless and can be used not only for active occasions but also in the city. This collection is filled with their wish that anyone can wear it.
