Vans x Mike Gigliotti
This season, Vans is excited to bring another collection to life in collaboration with artist and friend of the brand, Mike Gigliotti. The realistic aesthetics of Mike's works, extravagant illustrations and close references to the spirit of skateboarding resulted in excellent cooperation - as befits a Lotties Skateshop artist.
Drawing on the classic Vans "Off The Wall" design, Mike Gigliotti's Range Loose tapered pants add character to our comfortable "Off The Wall" pants with Mike's all-over graphic. High-waisted drawstring trousers with a comfortable elasticated waist for an even better fit, loose in the hips and thighs and tapered legs. Thanks to the use of cotton, they are soft to the touch, and subtle details with the brand logo add elegance. They also feature embroidered bartacking seams with a "Drop V" motif on the sides and pockets, a V-shaped loop on the right rear waistband and a logo tag on the leg opening hem, which is visible when rolled up.
• Loose tapered - loose in the hips and thighs, with a tapered leg and high waist • 100% cotton • Unique graphics all over • Elastic waistband makes it easy to put on, combining comfort and style • Drop V embroidered barbed seams strengthen those most exposed to damage space • V-shaped key loop at the waist on the right side at the back • Logo tag sewn inside the bottom seam guarantees a stylish look, even when the legs are rolled up • Leg opening: 42 cm
Composition: 100% COTTON Style: VN000008BLK
ABOUT THE BRAND
VANS was founded in 1966 by brothers Paul and Jim Van Doren and Gordon Lee and Serge Delia as The Van Doren Rubber Company in Anaheim, California. The first shoes to be created were Vans #44, now known as Authentic. In 1976, Vans #95, now known as Era, was created, designed by Tony Alva and Stacey Peralta. In the same year, the Vans "Off the Wall" logo appears. In 1977, Vans #36, Old Skool, and #98, Slip-On, were released. A year later, #38 - Sk8-Hi is created. In 1988, Vans signed by Steve Caballero were presented - the legendary Half Caby. In 2001, Vans helped produce "Dogtown and Z-Boys," a film that gave Stacy Peralta a look at the early days of skateboarding and the personalities that shaped the sport. The film receives the audience award and the directing award at the Sundance Film Festival. In 2010, Vans opens House of Vans Brooklyn, a retail and event space in New York, and in 2014 opens House of Vans in London. In May 2015, Vans makes skateboarding history with the release of the highly anticipated PROPELLER: A Vans Skateboarding Video, the first skateboarding video from Vans. This unique event catapulted Team Vans Pro Skate to international prominence and further highlighted the importance of the Vans brand to the history of skateboarding. PROPELLER becomes the fastest-selling skateboarding video on iTunes.
