It’s a sight to see when experts in their respective fields equally contribute to a unifying project. The results are always a thing of magic, as made evident on this upcoming three-way partnership by END., NOMA t.d., and Vans.
The UK-based retailer calls on the textile mastery of Japan’s NOMA t.d., showcasing the hand-drawn patterns of brand founders Masako Noguchi and Takuma Sasaki. These archival prints are dressed in three color styles of olive, navy, and white, applied to Vans’ most cherished silhouettes from their vault – the Sk8-Mid, Authentic, and Slip-On. Each are of the “OG” trim, which promises elevated materials and true-to-original rubber moldings.
In addition to the trio of footwear options, END. has prepared an assortment of apparel that will drop alongside the shoes on January 26th, which also feature the archival prints. See a full preview of all the available garb just below and stay tuned for the official drop this coming weekend.
