LA-Celebratory Footwear Series

Vans Unveils a New Love-Filled Collection of Classic Footwear

Vans introduces its new love-filled collection that celebrates the vibrant city of Los Angeles. It is made up of classic silhouettes by the imprint, stemming from the Classic model to the Stackform model. It is showcased in a new campaign that stars the city's own Leah Thomas, Jenny Ong, and Ciera Nia.

The three are seen at the city's classic date spots and venture out to venues including downtown Los Angeles and East Pasadena. The campaign starts off at California Cactus Center, where the trip picked up plants and pots. These new takes on the silhouettes highlight the Slip-On and Sk8-Hi as well as sitting on a platform base. The elevated details retain classic elements from the original shoe and are fused with contemporary new takes.
