Art direction and graphic design for Vans premium footwear concept including commissioning original illustrations, art directing product photography, and outdoor marketing campaign in New York.

Inspired by the brownstone row houses of New York and the North East, this collection featured grays and red brick/brown drawn from the natural shades of the Jurassic sandstone material traditionally used in those homes. Constructed in a combination of premium leather, suede, nubuck and canvas, the shoes feature riveted brass eyelets with single tortoise glass eyelet detail, waxed flat laces, gum outsole. A custom illustration is printed on the insoles. Built for the East Coast’s inclement weather, the shoes featured water-resistant Scotchgard™ weather protection treatment.
