Vault by Vans recently joined forces with renowned multimedia artist Geoff McFetridge to launch a vibrant series of apparel and footwear. The capsule -- which features five re-imagined Vans shoes including the OG Slip-On LX, the OG Style 38 NS, and the OG Lampin LX as well as apparel such as hoodies, sweats, hates, and totes -- pays homage to McFetridge's iconic "sensibility and eclectic approach."
McFetridge commented on the inspiration behind the series, stating: "My thinking with projects like this is that they can be approached in the same way you might approach creating a piece of art. Both grow out of a similar process, and though the results are different, they feel like they are pulled from the same world."
The Vault by Vans x Geoff McFetridge collection will be available December 2, 2021, at Vault by Vans retailers.
