ROWLEY XLT BLUE STEEL

Description

GALLERY DEPT. X VAULT BY VANS

We have partnered with Vault by Vans to bring you several renditions of their coveted Rowley XLT. We have kept the integrity of this timeless silhouette from its beloved puffy tongue, shorter vamp, and bulky ankle collar. Our design language shines through the each pair’s bold aesthetics, quality construction of premium leather and suede, as well as the application of our branding throughout. 

This pairs dons a fusion of neutral gray leather with dark blue suede, finished with a red pebbled leather Jazz Stripe. Our vision was to harken back to the aesthetics associated with the roots of the XLT, as illustrated through the inclusion of the iconic light gum sole that juxtaposes the luxurious leathers that lead the sneakers composition.

Each pair has been stamped with our GD ENGLISH logotype tonally embossed into the upper toe-box, and rendered as a patch that adorns the top of the padded tongue. We have included of triad of alternative tonal lace options as our underlying intent is aesthetic flexibility, which we have listed below. For comfort and shock absorption each pair will be complete with a lightweight EVA midsole and an enhanced heel clip to increase durability and shape.
