Consisting of the vans chaussure femme prix, Authentic and Slip-On, these Vans undergo the FDMTL treatment from top to bottom, and the packaging too. The midsole tape is particularly glossy in its deep blue finish, meaning it will develop its own patina with use. Meanwhile, the uppers have already started the wabi-sabi, with the surface of the canvas uppers fluffed up and thinning to replicate heavy use. Looking past the damaged exterior reveals FDMTLs unique boro patchwork and sashiko stitching. This latter detail is continued on the laces of the Authentic and Sk8-Hi, which also features the same stitching on its Jazz stripe. As for the box, this collaborative edition applies a faded indigo print to simulate the finish of the shoes contained inside.
