Vans and Slam Jam Introduce a FUCT Collaboration
Slam Jam works together with Vans to shine a spotlight on the specially crafted FUCT collaboration as the three brands dive deep to honor their respective heritage. There is a focus on the roots starting underground as LA-based artist Erik Brunetti, FUCT -- also known as Friends U Can't Trust' is a brand that is rooted in youth rebellion against creative authority, pushing for liberty and expression throughout the years.
As a result, the three brands form a five-piece collection with the central designs of the LX Old Skool Reissue 36 and the LX Authentic Reissue 44 as the canvas. All of these are made with a Premium new build and all of the styles celebrate FUCT's design language, supported further by the signature branding of Slam Jam and Vans. notably, there are co-branded footbeds and crystal outsoles on the silhouettes with "Chaos is Order" mantra in print, debossed logos, and internally woven "Steal this Shoe."
