Known for their inventive streetwear and collaborative efforts with local and international names, Malaysian brand Futuremade Studio (FTMD.) partners with Vans to present a special edition of the LX Old Skool, a signature silhouette with the famous Vans Sidestripe since 1977. In this collaborative project, FTMD. takes inspiration from migratory patterns, exploring “the natural phenomenon of migration [and] how bodies respond to environmental shifts long before conscious decisions are made”, according to the team.
For the month of July, we put the spotlight on the Vans x FTMD. LX Old Skool Sneakers.
The result of FTMD.’s partnership with Vans is the LX Old Skool rendered in shades of mossy green on a canvas body, accented with a distinct suede toe tip and chain-stitched Vans Sidestripe. There are hints of purple in the long hair suede lace-up, foxing tape around the midsole, the logo patch at the heel, as well as the soles. A migratory graphic pattern is also printed on the Sola Foam ADC insoles.
The shoes comes with an exclusive shoe cover, which mutes the bright green body with check-patterned petals.
