To those familiar with the graffiti scenes of New York City and San Francisco during the 1980s and ’90s, the two-letter tag “KR” needs no introduction; for those obsessed with high-quality markers and other artistic accessories, “KRINK” should also ring a bell. For the uninitiated, however, Craig Costello is a graffiti legend from Queens who’s worked with some of the most important brands on the globe. Recently, KR has teamed up with Vault by Vans for a three-pair capsule.
While free of the drip-detailing often associated with the NYC-native, the “OFF THE WALL” trio set to release on March 25th are unmistakably Costello’s. Two pairs of the Vans Old Skool indulge in classic “Black/White” and “Navy” colorways, but are modified with “KRINK NEW YORK CITY” branding on the profiles and top of the tongue. An accompanying Vans Authentic opts for a different approach, donning a knit-like construction across the upper clad in a grey ensemble not too dissimilar from KR’s signature silver. All three pairs feature pull tabs at the heel for easier on and off functionality, as well as a reinforced midsole for added durability appropriate of any activity.
Enjoy product shots of all three pairs ahead, and find the shoes available via Vans.com and/or select Vault by Vans accounts.
