These new Vans sneakers were created collaboratively with Opening Ceremony -- with the latter brand's mark left clear by the use of premium leather and bold colorways.
For the collection, the two take on three of the skate brand's popular silhouettes, the 'Sk8-Hi LX,' the 'Old Skool LX' and the 'Prison Issue LX.' All together, the colorways comprise a clear fall theme, with hues like 'Harvest Pumpkin' and deep green and brown in the mix.
All of the new Vans sneakers made with Opening Ceremony are completely monochromatic -- as each is taken over entirely by a single tone. Depending on the color and silhouette, the sneakers are either very bold or incredibly subtle, giving consumers lots of variance.
What Makes This Trend Stand Out
- Monochromatic Sneakers
- Creating sneakers entirely taken over by a single tone presents opportunities for unique and visually impactful designs.
- Collaborative Footwear
- The partnership between Vans and Opening Ceremony demonstrates the potential for successful collaborations in the footwear industry.
- Bold Fall Colorways
- The clear fall-themed colorways on these sneakers tap into the market demand for seasonal and limited-edition products.
Sectors Adopting This
- Footwear
- Incorporating premium leather and bold colorways in sneakers can disrupt the traditional sneaker market and attract fashion-forward consumers.
- Fashion Retail
- Collaborations between established brands like Vans and Opening Ceremony can drive increased foot traffic and online sales for fashion retailers.
- Design and Retail
- The trend of monochromatic sneakers in partnership with fashion brands presents opportunities for designers and retailers to create exclusive and sought-after products.
