JSP and Vault by Vans Return for Third Love-themed Collaboration
Spreading the love.
[Update 15 Feb 2023] With the JSP x Vault by Vans collection set to arrive today, more close-up images of the pair have surfaced. Take a look at the latest images on the article slider above before you make your pick on which pair to cop.
This Valentine’s Day, JSP and Vault by Vans are teaming up once again for more love-themed collaborative footwear.
The first two JSP x Vault by Vans collaborations consisted mainly of Chukka 79s, and is what JSP founder Jimmy Gorecki would describe as a love letter to Philadelphia and the Philly skate scene. For their third outing, the duo is spreading the love beyond Philly, culminating in a trio of classic Vans sneakers.
“The relationship between Vault by Vans and JSP has always been about one thing; ‘Love’,” proclaims a press statement. The aptly-titled “I ❤️ MY JSP VANS” collection includes two pairs of Vans Old Skool and a pair of Sk8-Hi.
Beyond exploring new silhouettes and a more universal theme, JSP and Vans have chosen to stick to their tried-and-tested formula of hit sneakers. Coming in black, true blue and kelly green colorways, the collaborative sneakers are constructed in a mix of smooth suede and nylon, reminscent of their Chukkas.
Replacing previous graffiti lettering on the midsole is the new “I love my JSP Vans” slogan, and rounding out the midsole is the semi-translucent toe bumper that was also featured on the Chukkas. Underfoot, the titular slogan is printed across the entire icy-blue outsole.
All in all, JSP and Vault by Vans have delivered a clean and heartfelt collaboration. What’s better? A 15 February release date, coinciding with the season of love, makes this release extra sweet.
