Mastery Atelier Transforms Two Vans Footwear Silhouettes
References: masteryatelier & highsnobiety
Japanese designer Mastery Atelier works in collaboration with Vans with new custom work highlighting two specific silhouettes. The Vans Skate Authentic and the Vans Slip-On Classics undergo a refreshing transformation that turns the skate sneakers into formal lifestyle footwear.
Uniquely enough, it was altered by only changing very minor features to bring it to a new perspective. The Authentic's construction is added with a full-grain leather flat that has been cut and sewn by hand on the upper. The Slip-On shoes are made with premium leather tassels that have been contributed by luxe French tannery Alran. On the website, the design describes itself as “a brand derived from the expression and communication of beauty and aesthetics through meticulous attention to detail."
