Vault by Vans works in collaboration with Nicole McLaughlin on a new collection that highlights a gardening theme through unique functions added to the footwear. The capsule is made up of slip-on silhouettes that are detailed with pockets to store work tools and floriculture.
This is inspired by the look and function of garden totes as well as construction bucket bags. The gardening tote version of the shoe is originally inspired by an old gardening bag as there are elements that reveal that it is able to hold items such as pruning scissors and shears. Other features include a custom ankle collar strap that allows the shoes to hang over a hook when it is not being worn.
