Hermes + Vans

Hermes scarves are obviously the gift that keeps on giving… we’ve seen them turned into pillows and framed as art, but this is just super delightful. Robert Verdi asked Vans to create a collection of shoes based on the designs of his extensive Hermes scarf collection… and while this isn’t an official collaboration, its beyond awesome and probably should be.

 

I was just discussing the freak show that is designer sneakers with Leandra the Man Repeller a few nights ago. I said that I HATE those Isabel Marant sneakers and  I would look like a damn fool wearing them because I don’t wear sneakers unless I’m going to the gym… But I think I have to bite my tongue. Cause I would wear these.

If you can’t get the scarves, you could always buy the book! Cutting out pages from art books is depressing, but it’s an easy and cheap way to get great art!

  • I love these. Especially the ones with the rabbit and creepy wind up boy/man ones.
    I still wear converse and green and white check vans… likely a byproduct of being surrounded by so much testosterone.

  • I’d buy these in a heartbeat. Too bad it’s just pretend :/ I travel a ton and need more comfy shoes than my Chanel flats.

  • The birds on black are so chic and fabulous! I’m with Betsy, would wear these in a heartbeat.

  • Erika G:

    I’m not a big fan for designer collaborations- versace for H&M?.. meh. Missioni for Target?- pass.

    BUT HERMES + VANS?

    I would camp out in a tent on the sidewalk in the snow for these babies if they ever went on sale…

    I have a collection of hermes scarves as well- maybe vans would make a few pairs for me >wishful thinking<

  • STOP right now!!! I saw these yesterday on Pinterest but didn’t know they were Hermes!!! So cool!!! And I’m not a big sneakers fan, but I have been loving all the designer high tops lately..esp the Isable Marant ones!! Sorry..I know you hate them.

    • Nicole Cohen:

      Haha! You go wear them and enjoy them, thats what makes the world go round! Its only clothes ;)

  • The red ones with the gold illustrations are so flippin’ fabulous. They would totally be my new office go-to shoe.

  • wao! these are amazing. I never liked the Vans and thought they were for skateboarders, but this is very cool and sophisticated. Like they are traying to compete with the espadrilles, kind of? and they raise the brand to a new demographic for sure. You find some cool stuff.

  • i love these. i’ve had a pair of those since I was little. love vans.

  • Hate the Isabel Marant shoes too. Am amazed people are willing to pay 625.00 for them and they seem to be sold out everywhere! These on the other hand would be fun! I really like the idea of this collab

  • Esther:

    These are amazing I love the orange ones is there any way to buy them or they were only made special for him?
