Opening Ceremony & Vans Give the Old Skool a Satin Makeover
Three vibrant colorways.
Continuing their longstanding fashion partnership, Opening Ceremony and Vans have unveiled their latest footwear collaboration, this time around dressing the Old Skool sneaker in a luxe satin shell. Taking to the streets of Los Angeles for the lookbook, photographer Leo Reilly implements his clone-style imagery to showcase the three bright new colorways.
In line with the summer season, the “Burnt Orange/Emerald” edition is a vibrant take on the silhouette, featuring a tangerine upper with traces of teal on the side panel and mudguard for contrast. Flipping things around, the duo has also offered up an “Aqua Sky/Silver” color combination, coating the shoe in light blue with neutral hits of grey to complement the icy palette. Meanwhile, the brands take the most muted approach by way of the “Pale Mauve/Burnt Coral” style, which rounds out the pack with a pastel pink rendition.
Launching on Friday, June 21, the Vans for Opening Ceremony Old Skool is priced at $100 USD and will be available at Opening Ceremony stores and the brand’s website.
In the meantime, read up on how Opening Ceremony founders Humberto Leon and Carol Lim are stepping down as creative directors at KENZO.
