Vault by Vans x Our Legacy

Posted on by bythelevel

 

Vault by Vans have combined with high-concept Swedish menswear brand Our Legacy on a pretty extensive range of footwear and apparel, which draws from the hardcore punk scene on the west coast. 

 The capsule sees several iconic silhouettes from Vans revived with bold orange, white and black colour treatments, simplistic detailing and premium material application - which combines suede and military grade nylon. Alongside the footwear selection they've also offered up a range of timeless apparel styles, including graphic tees, long-sleeve tees, hoodies and lined coach jackets, all of which align with the trainer designs. 

Our Legacy co-founder Jockum Hallin had this to say on the release...

 “Vans approached us and gave us, after some persuasion, free hands to design a full collection for them. I grew up in Sweden in the early ’90s on hardcore music, on skate, snow, and surf culture, dreaming of what was going on in the States. The collection is like curated pieces from that era of my life, put into a modern context."

The Vault by Vans x Our Legacy collection arrives at select Vault accounts including END. tomorrow (Saturday the 25th of February).

Vault by Vans x The North Face

Posted on by bythelevel

 

Two giants in their own field, Vans and The North Face come together this season to produce the ultimate winterised footwear collection.

Both Vans and The North Face are companies that hold a rich heritage, both specialists in their own field that are renowned for their innovation and their creative expression, so when a collaboration like this comes about you know it’s going to be well thought through and well executed. The Vault by Vans MTE range already boasts some solid winterised footwear styles, but twin that with The North Face’s knowledge in highly functional outerwear design and each style has been enhanced tenfold.

The classic SK8-HI MTE LX and the Desert Chukka MTE LX are the focus for this release, reworked and reinforced with signature performance features from The North Face, ensuring your feet stay warm, dry and comfortable through any conditions. The upper boasts several technical features including water-repellant leather and suede uppers, as well as gusseted tongues to stop any unwanted weather getting through. Both shoes are lined with DRI-LEX® materials, and sit on top of considered sole units, constructed with reversed waffle lug soles for increase traction and a winterGRIP® tacky rubber which is designed to remain soft through freezing conditions, ensuring stability on icy surfaces. Each style is available in three subtle colour options, with nice added touches in the embossed TNF heel strikes, Vans ‘Off the Wall’ heel scab markers and co-branded footbed logos on each pair which complete the look.  To accompany the footwear line, The North Face ‘Nuptse’ jacket has been given a collaborative update, maintaining all the qualities that have made the jacket so popular such as it’s water-repellant coating, insulated lining and double-layered in taffeta padding, but updated with a new checkerboard print that pays homage to Vans’ iconic print and arriving in a stealthy black-on-black colour treatment.

The Vault by Vans x The North Face collaborative collection will be available tomorrow (31st of October) in limited quantities from selected stockists including Footpatrol, Goodhood and Sneakersnstuff.
