COLLAB-A-WHA??
22.04.08
I’m all for collaboration and I’m 100% down with minimalism. That being said, if this post from High Snobiety is correct, this “collaboration” is bullshit. The post reads as follows:
“After previously working with Nike on some sneakers, French brand A.P.C. has not gotten together with Vans. They chose the Sk8 Hi and kept it very simple. It comes in all white cotton with white sole and leather logo stripes on the side panels.
The A.P.C. x Vans Sk8 Hi is now available in the A.P.C. online store and goes for 70 Euros. “
First off, I’m going to go ahead and assume “not gotten together” is a typo and they really meant “now gotten together.” Secondly, if I’m not mistaken these A.P.C. collabs appear to be pretty damn identical to the “Core Classic” all white color way that you can find on Zappos for $69.99. I’m not trying to bash A.P.C. or anybody else here, but I know plenty of super talented folks who would love to collaborate with Vans and not just spec white cotton…
