That’s exactly what happens when Vans teams up once again with the multifaceted creative, Nicole McLaughlin.
The second collaboration between these two is nothing short of groundbreaking, merging vintage outdoor aesthetics with innovative, multifunctional design.
The new Vans x Nicole McLaughlin Slip-On RS collection is set to turn heads, combining practicality with playful style for the bold, the creative, and the adventurous.
This limited-edition line draws on McLaughlin’s unique ability to transform everyday, discarded materials into chic and practical designs, and her second collaboration with Vans is no exception. Nicole’s curiosity and exploratory spirit shine through in every piece of the collection.
Taking inspiration from vintage hiking backpacks and the iconic outdoor gear of the ‘70s, the Vans x Nicole McLaughlin Slip-On RS combines adventure-ready features with an undeniable flair for fashion.
The signature piece takes practicality to the next level by incorporating a pocket on the toe and adjustable nylon straps, perfect for those on-the-go moments when you need both style and function.
Made with sustainability in mind, it uses 40% recycled canvas for the upper and features a robust traction pattern on the sole, ensuring durability across a variety of surfaces.
These sneakers are as ready for the trail as they are for the street.
But that’s not all – this collaboration extends beyond footwear.
The Vans x Nicole McLaughlin Rucksack, crafted with versatility in mind, can even double as a climbing chalk bag.
And let’s not forget that is made from 80% organic cotton, with a functional pocket for all your essentials.
McLaughlin‘s signature DIY spirit is evident in the entire collection, with each piece designed to be personalized and adapted to the wearer’s unique style.
The collection is brought to life in a miniature version of McLaughlin’s studio, offering a glimpse into her unexpected approach to design and problem-solving.
