It looks like Union is also part of this Vault By Vans COMFYCUSH campaign. They pulled inspiration from an African Kente cloth, on what looks like a 3-pack of shoes. If you look close at some of the pics they provided, you see an Old Skool, Slip-On, and an Era or Authentic. Here’s what Union‘s Chris Gibbs had to say about the inspiration for the release:
“Recently, Union adopted our own custom made “Union Kente Cloth” design into our brand identity; on our shopping bags, stickers, packing tape and other designs. It’s our subtle shout out to our history! Since we knew the shoe was going to release during Black History Month, we thought it would be a nice touch to make it a part of the design. Not sure what year it was but I remember back in the day Vans did a Kente cloth authentic and I always wanted those, but was never able to cop, so we made a new version for ourselves.”
Kicks will be available in-store and online (02.16.19).
