From Reebok<\/a> to Diemme<\/a>, and now to Vans<\/a><\/strong>, Nicole McLaughlin<\/a><\/strong> is on a mission to refresh the world and its practices, one upcycle at a time. For her debut Vault by Vans collaboration, the designer and multidisciplinary artist reimagines the Vans Slip-On VP VR3 LX<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inspired by her love for vintage gardening and workwear totes, McLaughlin transforms the Vans Slip-On into a practical yet fun work of art, utilizing a mix of recycled and responsibly sourced materials. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Vault by Vans NM Gardening Tote is a vision I\u2019ve had for a while. I\u2019ve always loved the Slip-Ons and the traditional canvas upper. The idea of canvas made me think about vintage gardening bags and it inspired me to make my own version, a functional gardening tote Slip-On.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I created the original sample by using an old gardening bag, and the idea of sourcing sustainable fabrics and materials followed through the rest of the design process. I\u2019m so excited with how the shoes turned out and it was so fun collaborating with the Vans team, they made my vision come to life!<\/p>\nNicole McLaughlin<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

With this in mind, McLaughlin gives the Slip-On a new purpose with utilitarian pockets for gardening materials and work tools across the toe vamp. Available in two colorways, the “White\/Green” iteration is inspired by the classic gardening tote, whereas\u00a0the “Brown\/Grey” edition embodies a classic workwear bucket bag. Both silhouettes are finished with custom Nicole McLaughlin labels and a custom ankle collar strap for a functional way to carry and store your shoes.<\/p>\n\n\n
