A fresh gust of Californian wind is wafting through the footwear realm as Vans, an iconic stalwart of the industry, joins hands with the unconventional Advisory Board Crystals. With the unveiling of their “Miracle Conditions” collection for Spring/Summer 2023, the two California-based brands stamp a bold mark on the landscape of fashion and artistry.
The heart of this unique collaboration is a celebration. Not just of footwear, but of the unconventional, the free-spirited, and the power of miracles – both natural and human-made. The theme plunges deep into the fascinating world of pseudoscientific phenomena, a domain where Advisory Board Crystals finds its rhythm, merging art with the allure of the mystical.
Drawing from the celestial pull of crystals, specifically the fire opal’s captivating aura, the collaboration harnesses this inspiration to craft a shoe that seems, almost, touched by other realms. The EVDNT model, a Vans classic, becomes the canvas for this artistic venture. Its transformation channels the dynamic hues and radiant energy of fire opals, serving as a beacon for sparking personal creativity.
With a design that mirrors the gem’s ethereal aesthetics, the shoe weaves a tale of luxury, comfort, and artistic liberty. Noteworthy details such as the Abc. lace lock, crafted in tandem with Vans, highlight the shoe’s impeccable design, while the plush vegan leather lining and diligent footbed branding ensure wearers a touch of opulence with every step.
But this collaboration’s magic doesn’t stop at footwear. An exclusive apparel and accessory line, birthed at the Abc. factory, seamlessly pairs with the shoes, exuding an aura of “creative mining.” With Swarovski rivets, mesmerizing fire opal motifs, and an innovative multilayered holographic patch, every piece is a testament to the genius of two creative powerhouses uniting under a shared vision.
The mastermind behind this collection, Advisory Board Crystals, since its inception in 2015, has consistently explored the boundaries of artistic expression and cultural influence. They’ve paved a path for thinkers, dreamers, and rebels, urging them to see beyond the ordinary and embrace the extraordinary.
Their alliance with Vans, a brand synonymous with boldness and originality, results in a collection like “Miracle Conditions,” available for a limited time at advisoryboardcrystals.com – a symbol of artistic prowess, an ode to pseudoscientific wonder, and a beacon for those looking to make their mark on the world.
