KITH and Vault by Vans work in collaboration on a new collection of intricately designed footwear options. It takes on the signature OG Classic Slip-On LX and the OG Authentic LX silhouettes as the base foundation of the shoes.
Arriving for the Summer 2022 season, the inspiration stems from needlepoint canvases, which give it that delicate and careful pattern throughout the uppers. The sizing notably runs for both adults and kids and the intricate prints boast the names "Medallion," "Azulejo Tile," and "Vintage Rose." It has neutral tonal bases with cream, navy, or white set as the undertones before it is decorated with different patterns across. Co-branding details can be seen printed on the insoles.
