Before Vans became the juggernaut they are today, customers at their first factory in Anaheim were able to custom-order handmade shoes in any color or materials they pleased, and that hands-on customization the brand offered in their fledgling days provides the inspiration for this new collaboration.
Based off of the ?promotional pairs? that the California-based brand used to demonstrate the different color choices you could make while designing your shoes, the canvas upper features a retro blend of pastel colors, from pink to purple to yellow and more.
The shoe?s white midsole is adorned with printed logos, another design feature that draws inspiration from early customization options, and the look is completed with a classic gum waffle outsole.
Details: Exclusively released in Europe Limited edition release Teaming up with VANS once again, UK retailer size? goes back to the early beginnings of the brand.
Referencing the good old days of handmade skate shoes, thesize x VANS Style 36 Patchwork is a colorful blast to the past. When VANS first started out in Anaheim about 50 years ago, production runs were still pretty small.
The upside of this: People could get bespoke, handmade sneakers and even pick materials, colors, lace options and midsole prints.
In order to showcase all the customization options, VANS produced demo pairs that featured much of the available style variations.
For their Style 36 collab,size?now pays homage to those sneaker dummies.
Decked out with loud color variations, the midsole stands out thanks to alternating VANS prints in red and blue.
This design feature returns for the first time in several decades and adds to the shoes unique aesthetics.
While the upper catches the eye thanks to its loud tones, the gum-colored waffle bottoms round out the shoe on a more traditional note.
