Pre-Worn Aesthetic Footwear Packs

Vans Launches the Stressed Pack of Pre-Dirtied Sneaker Models

— September 8, 2022 — Lifestyle
Vans' Vans Vault premium line of shoes introduces a new iteration of the Vans Vault OG Old Skool LX sneaker model with the Stressed Pack. It is essentially a worn-in iteration of the familiar design that is available in Japanese markets. The shoes get a color palette that blends together hues of white with navy and STV navy across the upper along with a black and white option.

The shoes' 'Stressed' iteration is to imply that the shoes have been worn for years, creating the purposeful weathering that accents the uppers. It also details the shoelaces, the outsoles, and more to create a pre-loved look. It is packed in a Vans Vault shoe box that is detailed with splattered black paint.
