FTMD. And Vans Collide for First-Ever Footwear Collaboration
Featuring the Sk8-Low and Half Cab silhouettes.
Partnering up for the first time, Vans and Malaysian streetwear label Futuremade Studio (FTMD.) are gearing up to launch their first footwear collaboration.
The collaboration sees two classic Vans silhouettes, notably the Sk8-Low and the Half Cab reimagined in a suede build and a retro-inspired color palette. Uniting both brands’ shared penchant for crafting wearable and versatile footwear, both models are designed to be worn every day, whether it’s at the skate park, on the dance floor, to the local cafe or for running errands.
The Sk8-love features a brown main body and an orange vinyl collar, along with shoelaces in an off-white or a matching brown color. Its off-white bumper and friction are accentuated with a bright blue foxing stripe, while the outsoles are emblazoned with FTMD. lettering against a red base.
Elsewhere, the Half Cab arrives in a sandy beige colorway made up of two different types of suede, offering a layering effect. The beige body is highlighted with hues of orange, spotted on the vinyl collars, foxing stripes, and heel counter stitching. The waffle translucent outsoles on this pair are outfitted with a complementing orange base, which is paired with white FTMD. logos for a bold and contrasting finish.
On August 10, the collection will be released in advance at FTMD. with every pair coming in a limited-edition shoebox. Starting August 17, the collaborative shoes will also be available in a normal edition shoebox, via regional Vans’ websites.
