On March 25, 2022, Vault by Vans and Krink will team up on a special collection inspired by the graffiti brands specific aesthetic. You know what that is: clean but raw, bold but drippy. Krink's founder Craig Costello, aka KR, was at the forefront of combining east and west coast graffiti cultures, skate identity, photography and a DIY sensibility of creating your own brand.
The six-piece collection features three footwear silhouettes and three apparel pieces that celebrate the history and heritage of Krink with functional design details for graffiti writer’s everyday wear. Leading the footwear assortment is the Authentic VLT LX that has been remastered in Krink’s signature silver. It features a thick-gauged ballistic nylon upper, which provides an elevated level of breathability while remaining durable, gray monochromatic outsole, silver metal eyelets and 3M reflective heel pull. The Old Skool VLT LX will be available in two classic offerings of black and navy. Each model features a Krink New York City logo inspired by the iconic super permanent stickers developed by the brand that can adhere to any surface. Vans’ iconic Sidestripe has been updated with a 3M reflective material along with a heel pull. Each of the footwear models are finished with 3M reflective Krink branding on the tongue and co-branded UltraCush™ footbeds.
