The JJJJound x Vans Collaboration Embraces Minimalism
The JJJJound x Vans collaboration delights consumers with three new footwear models that epitomize the sensibility of minimalist elegance and sporty design. These are the Sk8-Mid VLT LX, the Authentic VLT LX, and the Classic Slip-On VLT LX.
The project takes inspiration from French court footwear aesthetics. The Montreal-based creative studio JJJJound and Vans took the needs of hospitality workers into consideration when developing the construction of the shoe. The minimalism of the sneakers allows them to be easily integrated "into a subtle uniform." JJJJound and Vans partnered with different local businesses in Montreal to pair their creations with a uniform.
Staying true to minimalism, the JJJJound x Vans collaboration has minimal branding, subtle material composition and detailing adjustments.
