NOTRE RELEASES NEW VAULT BY VANS COLLECTION

Chicago retailer Notre has released its second collaboration with Vault by Vans. The new collection features a premium version of the footwear brand’s popular OG Old-Skool LX style in new colors.

Notre first put its spin on this style in late 2018, layering the store’s signature handshake motif over hairy green suede. Now, Notre has refined the style further and brought it back in four new, tonal colorways referencing classic Vans models: off-white, black, blue, and red. Each pair ships in a custom box bearing Notre’s motto: “There are many ways of doing things besides your own.”

“That motto comes from The Whole Earth Catalog, and it’s inspired a lot of what we’ve done as a shop over the past few years, and what we try to stand for teamwork, learning from one another, staying open-minded,” said MJ Jaworowski, co-founder and co-owner of Notre. “This year has been tough for everyone, obviously, so we felt this would be a good moment to re-introduce our Vans shoe concept, which itself promotes a message of togetherness.”

Vault by Vans x Notre OG Old-Skool LX ($90) is designed to be ideal for daily wear and made from materials that age with character. This release is rounded out with a two-piece capsule collection designed and produced by Notre, including the “Linking Hands” hoodie ($98) in black and heather grey, and the “Many Ways” short-sleeved t-shirt ($36) in black and off-white.

The Vault by Vans x Notre OG Old-Skool LX and private label capsule will be available exclusively through Notre’s online store on October 31st.
