The Shadow Conspiracy x Vans Collection

“We wanted [the shoe] to embody who we are and . . . black denim and leather work pretty well.”

Those quoted words above come from The Shadow Conspiracy’s Ron Bonner in reflection on the brand’s upcoming collaboration with Vans.  Bonner praises Vans’ signature waffle sole as “one of the best ever,” and with a bunch of BMX riders signed to both labels, it was only a matter of time.  The Shadow Conspiracy x Vans kicks were designed by Vans designer Quince Ruark to include heavy evidence of the collaboration while keeping with the murked out aesthetic.  Click through to see more of both sneakers and the matching teeshirt and hat along with a video detailing the creative process, and stick with Sneaker News for word on the release date.  via HS
