Skate label Vans Vault works in collaboration with Engineered Garments on reimagining its Classic Slip-On LX footwear silhouette in a variety of new tonal options. The shoes boast mismatching material of leather and suede across its uppers to represent the contributions of the two collaborating brands. The right shoe boasts a leather finish while the left shoe takes on a suede fabric material.
The new Classic Slip-On LX shoes offer six colorway options in total -- there is a selection of either navy blue, 'moonrock,' 'true white,' black, khaki, and an exclusive red option for this year's launch. The new Vans Vault and Engineered Garments shoes will be available at Nepenthes New York beginning July 6th.
