First previewed on Instagram by Thomas himself, Gallery Dept.'s Vans collab slightly tweak the Old Skool's inherent details, colour-blocking the toecaps, fuzzing the Jazz Stripe, scuffing the midsole, and stitching Gallery Dept.'s "ART THAT KILLS" mantra on the heels. Newspaper-like print on the uppers, branded laces and midsoles is inspired by "punk show flyers," according to the press release, made especially clear by the graphic reference to hardcore band Earth Crisis. It affects a DIY air that's Gallery Dept. through and through.
