Bianca Chandôn works in collaboration with Vans on a new selection of skate sneaker silhouettes. The duo join forces to highlight the Vans OG Sk8-Hi and the OG Authentic sneakers -- both of these are drawn from the archives of 1978 and 1966.
Each respective year was important to the skate scene as Bianca Chandôn aims to capture that through design. The new sneakers have a worn-in look to give them a vintage aesthetic all throughout. It can be seen in the signature vulcanized waffle sole unit foundation that looks as if it has been heavily worn in. Every pair also features a creamy base and black scuff marks along the branded Off The Wall license plate by the heel section.
