American artist Nicole McLaughlin has once again partnered with Vans to create a collection centered around functionality and upcycling. The standout piece of this collaboration is the Slip-On, which draws inspiration from vintage ’70s trekking backpacks.
Following their successful partnership in 2023, McLaughlin and Vans are back with another innovative release. Known for her blend of practicality and playful design, McLaughlin has worked with major brands like HOKA, Merrell, and PUMA in recent years.

A closer look at the Nicole McLaughlin x Vans Slip-On RS ‘Black / Grey’ and ‘Oatmeal’…

Featuring a spacious cargo pocket on the toe, adjustable nylon straps, and coordinating accessories, the sneaker designs are crafted from 40% recycled canvas and come with a water-repellent coating.
The Vans Slip On comes in two colourways: ‘Oatmeal‘ and ‘Black/Grey.’ The rugged profile and outdoor elements make those shoes a perfect and not to mention stylish addition to your next adventure. The collection also includes socks with pockets and a multifunctional backpack that doubles as a chalk bag.
