Jimmy Gorecki's JSP line works in collaboration with Vault By Vans on the new I Love My JSP collection made up of three footwear designs. All three come together and celebrate his East Coast roots -- the capsule highlights the Old Skool VLT LX sneaker model in a Kelly Green colorway or a black option as well. This is followed by the Sk8-Hi VLT LX sneaker model in a True Blue hue.
Every single pair is made from soft pig suede materials throughout the upper detailed with contrasting quarter panels made from nylon materials. More contrast can be seen with the tonal stitching details along the shoe. The side stripes branding is updated with a reflective underlay that illuminates in the nighttime.
Gorecki notes that "For this latest partnership with Vault by Vans, our goal is to reflect feelings of familiarity and take new materials and design details like the reflective elements, a nostalgic nylon, super soft suede and continue to evolve the classic styles we grew up shredding in to make a design that reads both rich and rugged and with a whole lot of love that you’ll feel all the way to your sole."
