[Update 22 Mar 2023] Following yesterday’s news of the Nicole McLaughlin x Vault by Vans Slip-Ons, a release date, alongside an additional colorway, has been confirmed.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The nm x Vans will come in the original gardencore “White\/Green” and a “Brown\/Grey” that takes its cues from workwear bucket bags. The shoes will drop on 31 March at Vans and selected retailers.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The upcycling artist also shared the rationale behind her design. “The Vault by Vans NM Gardening Tote is a vision I\u2019ve had for a while\u201d, said McLaughlin. \u201cI\u2019ve always loved the Slip-Ons and the traditional canvas upper. The idea of canvas made me think about vintage gardening bags and it inspired me to make my own version, a functional gardening tote Slip-On.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Line\"Artistic upcyclist Nicole McLaughlin is at it again\u2014this time, the Colorado-based creative is bringing her gardencore vision to a pair of Vans sneakers.<\/p>\n

We once commented that “to Nicole, everything can become anything”, in reference to her shoe-bag hybrid crossover<\/a> with high-end performance footwear brand Diemme. For her next collaboration, Nicole has channeled her utility design aesthetic and eye for the mundane into her first Vans Slip-ons.<\/p>\n

Named “Gardening Tote”, the nm x Vault by Vans Slip-ons features a natural canvas construction and consists of a series of design details that nods towards a regular “boat and tote” bag. Across the toe box are tiny compartments for you to store miniature gardening tools; a strap in a forest green shade is attached to the heel, alluding to the shoulder straps on a regular tote bag.<\/p>\n

On the tongue, a Nicole McLaughlin x Vans co-branded label appears, below which the name of the sneaker “Gardening Tote” also makes an appearance.<\/p>\n

After posting a few teaser images onto her Instagram account with the caption “nm x vans coming soon”, the American creative attracted considerable attention online, including an excitable comment from Sean Wotherspoon the man himself proclaiming that she’s “killllllllllllllled it”.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to Vault by Vans, the drop date of this pair of Nicole McLaughlin x Vans Slip-ons will be announced today. Stay tuned for more release details of nm’s latest foray into the sneakesphere.<\/p>\n
