◼️ About Vans "Summer Denim Pack" - The Appeal of Denim Re-emerging with Vintage Trends -

Vans' classic models "Old Skool" and "Authentic," celebrating the brand's 60th anniversary, will be available in the "Summer Denim Pack" exclusively at ABC-MART, featuring denim material for the uppers, which has regained attention amidst the recent vintage boom. This collection offers the unique charm of denim, allowing wearers to enjoy the changes in appearance that come with daily wear, such as fading and creasing, which vary from pair to pair. Available in two colors, a refreshing light blue and a versatile black that is easy to incorporate into styling, these shoes will add a light touch to your summer footwear.

Ryo Nishikido, who has stated he has loved and worn out many Vans shoes, has been chosen as the model for this collection. His relaxed, natural styling and calm demeanor highlight the unique texture of the denim material and the appeal of the Old Skool and Authentic models.

◼️ Interview with Vans Enthusiast Ryo Nishikido After the Shoot

▼ What is your image of Vans?

I imagine cool people who skateboard wearing them. Seniors I hung out with in Osaka often wore them too.

▼ Do you remember your first Vans purchase?

It was either the Era or the Old Skool. I own a lot of them, and I've worn them out completely.

▼ Which do you prefer, the light blue or black denim color of this collection, based on your current mood?

Both are nice, but I lean towards light blue. I think it suits summer well.

▼ Who would you recommend the Vans "Summer Denim Pack" to?

Anyone can wear them easily. I'm 41, and I can wear them with confidence. I think Vans look cool even on grandfathers.

▼ "Summer," "City," "Festival" - Where do these shoes fit best?

Everywhere, aren't they? For festivals, I'd wear black because they might get dirty. But I think wearing Vans until they fall apart is the best.
