Vans collaborate with Alyx to give us a remake of retro sneakers from the 90’s.
2017 is undoubtedly the year of all things retro and vans has tapped into the selling trend.

The 11 piece footwear collection features a revived take on three classic Vans silhouettes.
The collection is designed by Matthew Williams, founder creative director of Alyx. Alyx is a fashion brand that was launched in 2015 and has since gained recognition, the brand got shortlisted last year for the LVMH prize for young fashion designers. Matthew Williams has also worked with brands like Nike, Hood by Air, Supreme and Stussy.
