The History of FEATURE x Vans Vault

The History of FEATURE x Vans Vault

Haven Neiman

In celebration of the final iteration of our ongoing collaboration with Vans Vault, ‘Sinner’s Club,’ we’re looking back at each capsule we created alongside the legendary skateboarding brand. Take a look at the imagery below to learn more about the origins of the FEATURE x Vans Vault ‘Sinner’s Club’ collaboration and how this partnership has transformed over the years.

 

FEATURE x Vans Vault ‘Sinner’s Club’ (2018)

 

In the early spring of 2018, we joined forces with Vans Vault for the first time to introduce the first FEATURE x Vans Vault ‘Sinner’s Club’ collaboration. This collaboration featured two silhouettes, a Classic Slip-On + an Old Skool. Both profiles spotlighted premium suede and velvet materials at the upper while integrating embroidered phrasing and imagery, including a cabaret silhouette, nodding to Las Vegas’s many gentleman clubs. The designs also spotlighted all-over money graphic insoles that nod to the collaboration’s original inspiration: Las Vegas’ nightlife culture and blurred yet unforgettable memories. 

 

During this debut collaboration, we also teamed up with heritage apparel brand Mitchell & Ness to introduce a variety of apparel silhouettes inspired by Las Vegas.

 

FEATURE x Vans Vault ‘Sinner’s Club’ Part II (2019)

 

Over a year later, we continued the ‘Sinner’s Club’ collaboration with Vans Vault by introducing Part II of the capsule. The capsule spotlighted a pair of Old Skool + Authentics and toddler sizing in both iterations. The FEATURE x Vans Vault ‘Sinner’s Club’ Part II Old Skool LX featured a blend of patent leather and velvet at the upper, incorporating a flocked checkerboard print paired with a pigskin interior, embroidered branding, velvet detailing, glitter fabrication, and other details that nod to the glitz and glam of Las Vegas. As for the FEATURE x Vans Vault ‘Sinner’s Club’ Part II Authentic LX 

 

In addition to the footwear, this second collection was paired with exclusive graphic apparel from FEATURE, collaborative socks from Stance, and headwear from New Era that nodded to the collection’s Old Vegas inspiration. 

 

FEATURE x Vans Vault ‘Double Down Sinner’s Club’ (2023)

 

The FEATURE x Vans Vault ‘Double Down Sinner’s Club’ is the third and final iteration of the ‘Sinner’s Club’ collaboration, and we’re ending it with a bang by introducing a collaborative Old Skool + Authentic sneaker that nods to retro Las Vegas inspiration. These two shoes are also introduced alongside an exclusive FEATURE graphic apparel capsule of tees, sweatpants, sweatshorts + a hoodie. The shoes both utilize nubuck uppers in addition to hits of hairy suede and corduroy, materials that nod to the luxury aesthetics of Las Vegas. The detailed embroidery is seen throughout each shoe, furthering the retro Las Vegas inspiration.

 

Our final FEATURE x Vans Vault collection, ‘Double Down Sinner’s Club,’ will be released tomorrow, August 12, alongside a coinciding graphic apparel capsule. Stop by our launch event at the Foundation Room at Mandalay Bay from 11 PM to 2 AM. Click here to RSVP.
