While other sneaker companies are collaborating with stores and graf artists, Vans is quietly turning out projects with fashion houses like Marc Jacobs, Trovata, and most recently Lucien Pellat-Finet. Does that mean Vans has lost its edge? Nope. The brand remains true to its roots (see Supreme collaborations from fall 2005 as well as a slew of pro-skate models) but manages to do its own thing, and do it well.
