As a seasoned gamer with a penchant for both digital worlds and real-life fashion, I must say this Vans x S.R. STUDIO. LA. CA. collaboration truly resonates with my eclectic taste. The fusion of streetwear and fine art is not only intriguing but also visually captivating, much like navigating through an immersive video game landscape.
Vans and multidisciplinary artist Sterling Ruby are joining forces again under S.R. STUDIO. LA. CA., launching a daring new collection which builds upon the creative ethos of their initial collaboration from earlier this year. Following the acclaim of their February 2024 debut, this second release showcases seven captivating items, encompassing both footwear and apparel, that further explore the artistic and design aesthetic developed in their first partnership.
This new release showcases a more sophisticated array of colors, moving away from bright neon greens and oranges towards deeper tones of green and gold. Inspired by Ruby’s interest in change and decay, the collection features bold motifs like decaying jack-o’-lanterns and terrifying claw imprints, both stemming from her fine art background.
The selection of shoes includes four timeless designs, each equipped with Outdoor Tech Waffle (OTW) Vibram soles: the Old Skool 36, the Sk8-Hi 38, and the Slip-On 98. These styles are available in plain colors or sporting the distinctive SR claw mark in vibrant orange and green hues. Created using top-quality materials such as goatskin collar linings, glossy sidewalls, and eco-friendly cotton sourced from American farms, these shoes embody the OTW by Vans brand’s dedication to superior craftsmanship and environmental consciousness.
For the very first time, this partnership presents a line of clothing, encompassing a T-shirt, a long-sleeved shirt, and a hoodie. Each item boasts Ruby’s unique pumpkin-inspired artwork, combined branding details, and the intriguing phrase “ABSOLUTE CONTEMPT FOR TOTAL SERENITY,” which is inspired by their ACTS sculpture collection.
Beginning December 5th, the Vans in collaboration with S.R. STUDIO. LA. CA. collection can be purchased, ranging from $125 to $200 USD. This exclusive line-up will only be available on Vans’ online store.
