“Parisian boutique Starcow introduces a pair of collaborative Vans silhouettes, each sporting revised detailing. Both pairs feature bi-color blue/black or black/white makeups, with the laces and midsoles contrasting against tonal mesh and suede uppers. Juxtaposed against the unaltered suede panels are slim windowpane check patterns, complementing the contrast stitching seen throughout. The foxing stripe on the midsole has been removed, further emphasizing the red Vault license plate branding on the heel.”

Both are available on the Starcow webstore now.

“Inspired by Las Vegas’ sleepless nights and blurred yet unforgettable memories, we bring to you our latest collaboration. Officially titled the “Sinner’s Club” Pack, this project includes two of Vans’ most iconic silhouettes, the Classic Slip-On and Old Skool, as well as apparel from Mitchell & Ness offering two sets of warmup suits, velour basketball shorts, a tee and a hat – which will be available exclusively at Feature.

Crafted with a luxurious finish in mind, the sneakers feature a premium suede and velvet construction on the upper in shades of black, plum, and red. A metallic patent leather finish covers Vans’ signature Side Stripe on the Old Skool, which is further accented by contrasting pink stitching throughout. Green hits on the tongue trim and on both of the sneaker’s foxing stripe symbolize the money spent in the city. An embroidered cabaret silhouette is seen at the forefoot of the Classic Slip-On and the heel of the Old Skool to further exemplify Las Vegas’ Gentlemen’s Club motif. Further details include an all-over money graphic on the dual-branded insoles, semi-translucent waffle outsoles, and black and green “Off The Wall” heel license plates. Metallic silver trim along the Classic Slip-On’s upper and the Old Skool’s pink faux fur tongue lining give the pack a finished look. The collection will come with two extra sets of laces, as well as a custom velour dust bag and packaging. Heritage brand, Mitchell and Ness, rounds up the collaborative effort with a Sinner’s Club branded capsule collection. Pick yours up at our in-store release party this Friday March 2, 2018 at 6PM PST and online Saturday March 3, 2018 at 7AM PT/10AM ET.”
