The daring designer label Fear of God is translating its unique aesthetic onto the classic silhouette of Vans sneakers in a newly announced Vans X F.O.G collaboration.
The shoes are available in two iterations, both boasting two distinct colorways. The first, re-imagines the brand's new Mountain Edition 35 DX with the 'Fear of God' logo printed on the shoes upper. The rest of the sneaker features a corduroy or suede textured upper and is available in a vibrant red and black, or white and black colorway. In addition, this pair comes with specialty laces, also featuring the 'Fear of God' typeface. The second pair revamped the Slip-On 47 V DX Classic through offering a red and black or white and black colorway as well as suede and canvas upper and a 'Fear of God' branding on the strap.
