Mattias Gollin works on a new variation of the classic Slip-On shoes by Vans as he adorns the familiar silhouette with sparkling jeweled accents. The shoes retain their canvas construction which all sits on top of the signature waffle outsole unit.
Gollin brings the classic design into a space that falls under a more luxurious definition without disrupting the checkerboard pattern throughout the upper. The double tonal finish is detailed with jewels throughout the heel unit and the upper of the shoe as every square of the print is accented with pearls. The shoes are set to release to the public and they will be optioned in three colorway variations: light pink, light blue, and black.
