Diving into the archives of Vault by Vans, the duo decorate their own version of the OG Style 36 [LX](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vans-x-futuremade) low top shoe. The iconic checkerboard pattern that is true to Vans returns, but this time in a color palette of orange and white. The tonal update is actually inspired by Orange Tompouce, which is a Dutch pastry. It is a sweet dessert that is similar to a thin puff pastry that is filled with cream and topped off with a layer of smooth pink icing. To reference the Dutch colors, the update features orange icing. The names of the model includes "True White," "Amberglow," and "Marshmallow."
