Warped Checkerboard Shoes

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Vertigo Pack by Vans and END. Clothing Boasts Psychedelic Visuals

— November 26, 2018 — Fashion
UK-based retail label END. Clothing worked in conjunction with Vans on the new Vertigo pack, comprised of two signature footwear models— the Old Skools and the Slip-Ons. The new range reimagines the iconic checkerboard pattern in a new warped style. It gives off a visual illusion in black and white, with both models complete in woven jacquard materials and a blend of high-quality leather and canvas.

Additionally, the shoes are complete with white tonal heel badges as a subtle branding accent. Each sneaker boasts its own individually unique design due to the natural process of jacquard weaving. The shoes are encased in a limited-edition packaging and are set to drop on December 8th online at END. Clothing.
