Have you ever wondered how handy it would be to have pockets not only on your pants but also on your shoes? Whatever your answer, once you see the latest collection from Vans, you won’t be able to resist this fun yet incredibly useful idea!
With spring comes the singing of birds, the scent of flowers, and gardening. The arrival of good weather also means that functional clothing is becoming more popular, just think of the hiking boots or overalls that are popping up around town. Designer Nicole McLaughlin has added to this with her latest collaboration, Vault by Vans, which combines design and function with a unique approach. Known for her recycled pieces and distinctive designs, McLaughlin taps into the nostalgia of vintage gardening pants and even ups the ante: the collection’s signature feature is tiny pockets on the front of the shoe, perfect for storing small gardening tools.
These playful yet practical models offer an exciting sustainable alternative for gardening enthusiasts. Nicole McLaughlin uses a mix of recycled materials to create this multi-functional product, lending credibility to both her and Vans’ stance on mass production and sustainability. The collection is available in two colorways, the white and green models are inspired by a classic gardener’s bag, while the brown and gray pieces are inspired by the staple tool bag of worksites.
The Vault by Vans x Nicole McLaughlin Collection is available from 31 March worldwide, online, and in Vault by Vans stores.
