The perennially optimistic lifestyle label Madhappy has teamed up with Vault by Vans on their first sneaker collaboration. The shoes are based on the classic, low-profile OG Style 43 LX and are made from cream-colored canvas featuring primary colored stitching throughout for a subtle yet still noticeable pop of color.
Save for the stitching, the sneakers remain blank, meaning to serve as a “blank” canvas for the wearer who can customize the sneakers to their liking with the included beading kit, allowing them to outfit the shoes with “friendship-bracelet”-style letters and symbols. True to Madhappy’s commitment to mental health and promoting conversation around it, the sneakers provide the perfect vehicle for self-expression.
