Vans Throws Support Behind Creative Types With New Collection

You’ll often see a Vans logo flying high at festivals or other events, and now the company is showing support to those who make it all possible with the announcement of their Makers Classics Collection.

Targeted at those who work tirelessly behind the scenes when it comes to art, music, action sports and more, the new range has increased traction and a canvas that repels liquid and dirt, which actually sounds like a decent investment for those who spend most of their time in the thick of a mosh pit.

“Vans has a rich history in listening to our athletes and delivering advancements in footwear to meet the demands of their lifestyles,” Vans Australia Marketing Manager David Dullens said.

“The Made for the Makers collection takes that same approach and offers comfort, protection and increased traction to the creative community.

"This collection allows our consumers, from artists, musicians, chefs, bartenders and barbers to the teams working in our Vans retail stores, to continue to express their unique personal style while working their 9 to 5."

The new design, which takes into account the classic Vans look, comes in Sk8-Hi Reissue UC, Old Skool UC, Authentic UC and Classic Slip-On UC and will hit stores next month.
