The Vans 'Made For The Makers' Collection has been created by the brand to provide creative professionals with access to their favorite sneakers with a simple aesthetic. Coming in an all-black color scheme, the collection consists of familiar styles like the 'Sk8-Hi Reissue UC,' 'Authentic UC,' 'Old Skool UC' and 'Classic Slip-On UC.' Each one is crafted with a mix of suede, canvas and leather to create a sneaker that is casual yet contemporary enough to be worn out after work without looking drab.
The Vans 'Made For The Makers' Collection puts a vulcanized lugged outsole on each sneaker for increased traction and identifies the increased need for familiar products for Millennials with an adult-focused overhaul. As Millennials become the dominant force in the work industry, we'll likely continue to see more products and solutions be created to satisfy their preferences.
