Notre and Vans Join Arms Once Again

In 2018, Chicago store Notre was chosen by Vans for their “5×5 Project”. This collaboration led to Notre redesigning the Old Skool shoe model, with a unique twist on its Jazz Stripe – two arms joined together by hands. The first release was successful, and in 2020, they partnered again to introduce four new colorways of the Old Skool Lx with the same design at the top. More recently, in 2022, they used the same custom stripe on three OG Style 36 LX shoes with drink-themed colors.
