Canadian retailer Off The Hook has a super clean collaboration with The Ringleaders Football Club of Montreal and Vans. Using the velcro-equipped Prison Issue, the sneaker sports a mostly white leather build with a subtle touch of blue placed behind sneaker's heel and contrast "RFC" branding. The theme of the project takes inspiration from the UK's "Casual" subculture of the '70s and '80s. It was a movement where fans of football clubs would wear expensive clothing instead of team colors to fly under the radar of authorities and rival groups.
The Vans x Off The Hook, R.F.C. will be available exclusively at the Vans x OTH store in Montreal (9 a.m.) and online (11 a.m. EST) on Saturday, October 4. Retail price is set at $130 CAD, or about $115 USD.
