To pay tribute to the extensive history Vans holds in California, shaping the DNA of Cali-footwear since day one in 1966, SNS discovered a print in the brand’s archive from the early ‘90s honoring the beaches around California. A place close to SNS’ heart, with Venice Beach right at the center of it, the Vault by Vans OG Authentic LX nods to the authentic artwork from 92’, reimagining the black and white illustration with all seven SNS locations. Crafted with signature canvas, a vulcanized midsole with “SNS” lettering, and the iconic Waffle rubber outsole, the low-top sneaker features the artwork mentioned above printed all over the upper. The striking cross-over design is also placed on the premium cotton short-sleeved tee. Equipped with chest and back print, the SNS x Vault by Vans t-shirt is followed by a summer-ready Linen Pant with an adjustable waistband, button closure, zip fly, and several pockets to complete the Venice authentic SNS x Vault by Vans look.

For the release of the collection, we teamed up with our friend and local photographer Castro Clifton to capture some photos of authentic personalities around Venice.

The SNS x Vault by Vans “VENICE AUTHENTICS” collection will be released exclusively via the SNS app on August 18th, with sign-ups starting on August 13th and closing on August 17th.
