Vault by Vans works alongside Brooklyn-based label LQQK Studios in creating a new collection surrounding the eclectic theme of vintage styles and translucent color palettes. The new collection offers a selection of apparel and footwear for the spring/summer 2018 season. The footwear pieces in the new collaborative collection include the Epoch Sport LX in three colorways -- cream, multi-color, and black. There are also the Authentic One-Piece LX in the choices of purple, black, and cream in a hairy suede material and an accenting 'V' logo finished in white.
The apparel selection includes two short-sleeve t-shirts in a full checker patterned jacquard, a black polo shirt detailed with monochromic sleeves, track shorts, six-panel hats, and semi-translucent coach jackets. The Vault by Vans x LQQK Studios collection will be available at select Vans retail locations beginning April 21.
