Vault by Vans works in collaboration with designer Taka Hayashi on the brand new trail-ready silhouette named 'AMZN TRL V3 LX.' The shoe is designed with inspiration from the Original Style #40 Buffalo boot by Vans, which is detailed with design elements that honor the Amazon rainforest. Sharing a same admiration, the original inspiration remains.
Natural elements including the river rock spiral etching and flowing lines can be seen throughout the boot's intricate detailing. To contrast this, there is the juxtaposing hardware that is made to represent those found on vintage backpacks or traditional climbing ropes. There are two colorways offered of the AMZN TRL V3 LX boots including Marzipan and Pebble or Deep Teal and Chalk Violet.
