Concepts and Vault b Vans work in collaboration on the World's End collection made up of a selection of iconic silhouettes by the footwear label. The plethora of designs reference punk style influences, honoring the work of Vivienne Westwood and her notorious work with bold prints and fuzzy textiles.
The shoes that are used as the foundational silhouettes include the Slip-On and the Sk8 Hi shoes adorned in Westwood's iconic mohair sweater textiles. The shaggy looks cover all of the uppers in bold fashion. The Slip-On boasts white and black striped accents, branded tags, and the Sk8-Hi boasts the signature Jazz Stripes. Both models come with special apparel -- the Up Yours graphic tee and a crewneck sweater.
