“Vans came to me with a proposal to create a short film that embodied the essence of their brand. The creative exploration and freedom they allowed me was unlike anything I had ever experienced. Pure trust, pure faith, in my abilities as a story-teller / director and as a friend. In creating this piece, it was profound to realize the success of their company, at its core, is based on a similar model they share with everyone they work with. To feel part of a brand, part of a family, part of an authentic creative expression, truly moved me to my core.”

We got our first look at the new Shadow Conspiracy 10 year anniversary collaboration shoes the other week. Today, Shadow release some more information with a few more angles of what’s coming. These look so good…
“The Shadow Conspiracy and Vans Shoes are teaming up once again to bring you the Shadow x Vans 10th Anniversary Shoes. Made from high quality leather and wax canvas, these shoes were designed for progressive riding and won’t wear out on you.

This project is the culmination of the authenticity and heritage of Vans mixed with the passion and style of Shadow. Available in the 106 and Sk8 Mid style, the Shadow x Vans 10th Anniversary shoe will be released this August and sold EXCLUSIVELY through Dan’s Comp. Keep your eyes peeled for more details, photos, videos, and events involving the collaboration coming soon.”
