British brand YMC presents its newest collection in the form of the Vulcanised Sneaker series for the Pre-Fall 2023 season. The collection has a retro theme behind it and also taps into elements of New York City for influence as well. The core focus is its sustainable mindset with eco-friendly techniques.
There are four new shoes that join the range and it is all made in Korea. It stems from high-top, low-top, mules, or slip-on silhouettes. All of these are made from cotton canvas materials across the upper for a soft and breathable feel that encourages movement. The seasonal colorway palette includes the options of black or off-white for those who want a muted look and yellow or green for a brighter pop.
