Concepts’ latest collaborations with Vans bring light to the intersection of luxury design, skate style, and Two-Tone fashion with the “Question the Answers” collection.
Named for a 1994 album by the Mighty Mighty Bosstones, the collection merges the classic Vans checkerboard pattern with a hallmark material from the heyday of the ‘70s and ‘80s punk-driven London fashion mohair. In this, Concepts bridges the gap between generation-defining designer Vivienne Westwood, ‘80s Two-Tone style, and centuries-old design houses.
Two OG Sk8-Hi’s, an OG Authentic LX, and an OG Old Skool NS LX are dressed in mohair to give Vans’ classic checkerboard a fresh perspective. Each colorway honors Vans’ legacy print in new articulations. Design details from the custom boxes draw from the Sex Pistols, poster boys of the hardcore punk era from which mohair transformed from pedestrian wear to aspirational fashion.
Look for the Concepts x Vault by Vans “Question the Answers” Collection to release on October 7th exclusively at CNCPTS Boston, CNCPTS NYC, CNCPTS Dubai, and Cncpts.com. The retail price tag ranges from $90 to $110 USD.
