The chosen creatives, Chad Chomlack, Chad Huff, Charles Lanceplaine, James North, Jay Meador, Jeff Han, Matt Georges, Nolan Hall and Pete Williams, captured each image with the iPhone 6s Plus -- helping to make the end collection more cohesive in quality.

With its global photography campaign, Vans shows the many different ways that its 2016 'All Weather MTE' collection comes in handy -- however in a way that's more genuine and accessible than traditional marketing techniques.
