Better Gift Shop works in collaboration with Vault By Bans to work on a collection that celebrates the Hong Kong Kung Fu Club. The collective range is highlighted by two footwear options and draws inspiration from Better Gift Shop's own storefront.
The capsule is led by the Style 36 VLT sneaker and it is made with bolt Forest Green tones as a nod to the Toronto building as it sits on top of a marshmallow midsole base at the bottom. The Half Cab VLT sneaker is made with long-hair suede at the base foundation in a Burgundy tone paired with Pewter colors as well to create a color-blocking aesthetics -- this nods to the storefront gates of the space.
