Justin R. Saunders has infiltrated countless corners of “cool” over the past few decades. His photo-blog-turned-creative-studio, JJJJound, has become a household name in recent memory, teaming up with everyone from Garrett Leight to Salomon.
Ahead of summer, the Montreal-based agency unveiled another Vans collaboration, this time focusing on the Sk8-Mid. In true “JJJJound” fashion, the upcoming sneaker features shades of white across its premium construction. An off white suede covers all of the forefoot and lines the sides of the tongue. Iconic Jazz stripes also partake in a suede build, while their surroundings revert to traditional canvas. Branding is forgone on the tongue, but likely appears on the sockliners, license plate, and shoe box.
Enjoy teaser imagery of the JJJJound x Vans Sk8-Mid ahead, as you wait for an official launch throughout the summer season.
