Blends and Vans Team Up Once Again for the Epoch LX

Blends and Vans Team Up Once Again for the Epoch LX

Socal-based Blends and Vans have worked together since 2012 for the inception of the bone motif logo on their long-run of collaborative footwear pieces. Now the two team up once again on the Epoch LX, a once obscure model originally designed in 1994, and head to the Philippines for the collaboration’s campaign shot by Franco Zulueta.

The collaboration was more than just a visual upgrade of the Vans logo as the complexities are in the details. The V-bone logo comes in a white leather that matches the white leather heel tab. Leather details continue down to the inner lining for a premium feel while the upper construction of the shoe features a contrasted black textured suede and the eyelet panel is finished with a geometric pattern. Vans Vault details such as the vulcanized rubber outsole and the all-white heel tab finish off the look.

Stay tuned for the Blends x Vans Vault Epoch LX release at Blends.
