Luxury Meets Streetwear: Vans Collaborates with Au Départ for Exclusive Sneaker Release
Get ready to elevate your sneaker game with the latest collaboration from Vans and French leather goods expert Au Départ. The iconic skate brand has teamed up with the luxury label to create a limited edition version of their classic Authentic sneaker, available exclusively to friends and family.
The low-top sneaker has been given a premium upgrade, with a sleek and stylish design covered in Au Départ’s signature monogram leather. This geometric pattern, first introduced in 1910, adds a touch of sophistication to the classic Vans silhouette.
But this collaboration is more than just a fashion statement. The design of the sneaker is inspired by France’s natural outlines, with a patriotic color scheme of dots, stripes, and squares. This unique combination of elements creates a one-of-a-kind design that is sure to turn heads.
Au Départ’s tri-hued leather, often seen on their signature travel bags, takes center stage on the Vans Authentic. The result is a statement piece that exudes opulence and class, transcending borders and blurring the lines between luxury and streetwear.
Unfortunately, this exclusive release will not be available for sale. It is reserved only for friends and family of the two brands. But for those lucky enough to get their hands on a pair, it will surely become a prized possession.
Take a closer look at the Au Départ x Vans Authentic F&F collaboration in the gallery above. With its premium leather construction and unique design, this sneaker is a must-have for any fashion-forward sneakerhead. Don’t miss out on this luxurious and limited edition release.
