OPEN THE VAULT 🔓

Vault by Vans x Julian Klincewicz collab

VANS has been a top player in street fashion culture since before the term 'streetwear' was even coined. Year after year, they manage to remain timelessly recognizable among every generation while still constantly innovating new takes on their old school basics.

Their latest creative escapade features a collab between the Vault by Vans line and contemporary multidisciplinary artist, Julian Klincewicz.

The rising SoCal creative takes pride in his innovative thinking, inclusive worldview, and value of community ― elements that translate stunningly when elevated and presented by the Vans brand.

The creative concept Julian chose to design the collab around was a celebration of human connection and individuality, a timely statement to made in a moment when honoring diversity and uplifting the voices of others is crucial. To achieve this, Julian lent his platform with Vans to 14 other rising artists, commissioning each to interpret the shoes and themes of the brand as literally or abstractly as they live. The result? An incomparably unique collection of footwear and graphic tees that carry the talent and inspiration from artists of all walks of life.
