Vans is excited to announce the second instalment of a footwear collaboration with skater and entrepreneur Jimmy Gorecki of JSP (Jimmy Sweatpants). This newest iteration of the Chukka 79 VLT LX is delivered in knock out pink from the California footwear label’s Vault by Vans division.
Titled “Roses Grown in Granite,” Gorecki continues to stay true to both his focus on quality textiles and his love for Philadelphia skateboarding, with another premium take on his favorite Vans silhouette, the Chukka Boot. Butter soft suede uppers in Marshmallow and Pink play against a Crystal Blue translucent bumper and waffle sole, while a knock out Racing Pink checkerboard midsole sets things off with “JSP,” “215” and “LOVE” hits in a custom Philly hand style by Joe Lees. The tags are repeated on matching Vans Ultracush® insole, driving home Gorecki’s love for all the skaters who made the city blocks at 15th and JFK a place of legend.
The Vault by Vans x JSP “Roses Grown in Granite” Chukka 79 VLT LX is available May 12th at 10am PST in sizes 3.5 to 13 exclusively at www.jimmysweatpants.com
