Looking to the past to relive the present. That’s the concept guiding Vans’ new Anaheim Factory collection: an ode to the brand’s origins and its creative essence. The californian house thus uses nostalgia to reissue a series of archival silhouettes with which it debuted in its first factory in Anaheim, modernizing its original aesthetic philosophy and artistic energy.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Vans<\/p>\n

For this spring, Vans<\/strong> picks up a new bloom from its timeless roots to present a timeless collection<\/strong> revolving around the Authentic 44 DX<\/strong>. These were the brand’s first vans, co-designed by brothers Paul<\/strong> and Jim Van Doren<\/strong>, and their partners Gordon Lee<\/strong> and Serge Deli<\/strong>a in 1966<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The first Off the Wall<\/strong> styles were sold directly to the public from the Van Doren rubber factory<\/strong> in Anaheim <\/strong>(California), where the shoes were designed and sculpted by hand in exclusive units. Each of the models consisted of a specific mold, and the colors selected for the canvas became expressions of freedom for times of amateur experimentation. The store<\/strong> at the front of the factory displayed all those creative silhouettes that would advance the DIY era.<\/p>\n

THE NEW DROP OF ANAHEIM FACTORY COLLECTION<\/strong><\/h5>\n

The Anaheim Factory collections<\/strong> become a fusion of the design and construction of classic Vans models<\/strong><\/a>. Each season presents new packs with silhouettes that follow the original molds, premium construction, and colorways used in the early days of the Californian brand.<\/p>\n

\"Vans<\/p>\n

The new footwear installment of the Anaheim Factory<\/strong> saga celebrates the brand’s heritage through a capsule that follows the path initiated by the first<\/strong> heritage collection<\/strong> of 2016<\/strong>. That was the year the VF Corporation<\/strong> house celebrated five decades in fashion and wanted to celebrate its iconic legacy.<\/p>\n

Diving into the brand’s archives and history, Vans now places in the global showcase a series of color block silhouettes<\/strong> with graphic brushstrokes<\/strong> and\/or visual codes<\/strong> from its original vocabulary<\/strong>. The essence of the past has been brought together in a new retro<\/strong> and handcrafted<\/strong> format that coexists with the technology<\/strong> of the future.<\/p>\n

DECIPHERING THE SILHOUETTES<\/strong><\/h5>\n

In the new proposal for spring-summer 2021<\/strong>, elements faithful to the initial era are reinterpreted for those who value aesthetic details and functionality. From the illustrations of the classic Vans archive<\/strong> to the nomenclatures by silhouettes<\/strong> and their numerical identities<\/strong>: a system that was used back then to catalog the vans according to their type of mold. Each design, therefore, includes the OG style\/model number<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
