Words via Hypebeast:
“New York-based designer Todd Snyder has drastically expanded his output in recent years, continuing to push classic American styles through a contemporary telescope. While the designer tends to focus on menswear, he has stepped into the footwear realm with a heritage-filled attitude.
Following his recent New Balance 237 collaboration, Todd Snyder unites with Vans on an all-new sneaker pack. In celebration of the brand’s 10th anniversary, the duo has designed a two-part release inspired by Snyder’s favorite cocktail.
The “Dirty Martini” pack includes the Vans Slip-On 98 DX and the Lace-Up 73 DX models, mutually fashioned in the brand’s signature “Snyder Olive” hue reminiscent of its common olive additions. Furthermore, both pairs feature premium suede uppers, while the Lace-Up 73 boasts embroidered Vans branding at the medials and tan leather tags. Finally, the designs are complete with co-branded cork insoles and creamy rubber bottoms.
Take a closer look at the Todd Snyder x Vans “Dirty Martini” pack in the gallery above. The collaboration will release on April 20 exclusively via the Todd Snyder website.
