Gallery Dept. works in collaboration with Vans on a new collaboration together as the duo highlights the OG Old Skool LX sneaker model. It is defined by its deconstructed design language and was first introduced by Thomas himself online on Instagram.
The shoes take the Old Skool and tweak some details including the color-blocking throughout the upper highlight the toe caps and fuzzing the Jazz Stripe on the side of the shoe for some texture. The midsole is also detailed with some scuffed accents for a worn-in look and the Gallery Dept 'ART THAT KILLS' text is seen along the heels. The uppers are also marked with newspaper-like print and then rounded out by branded laces and midsoles.
