For this shoe we wanted to use elements that for us typically represent ourselves and our city on one hand, and Vans on the other hand. This is why we chose to have a tiger print to symbolize Vier, as animal prints in general have always been something very visible in our shop, whether it is in our interior or in the selection we make from other brands. The picture on the inner sole is from Antwerp’s red light district: we often make references to our city, but most of the time we like to highlight the more uncommon part of it. To have Vans being strongly represented, we decided to use its OG palm print, that for us is one of the brand’s most recognizable and iconic prints. We feel it goes perfectly with the tiger print and the "Vamos a la playa” written on the sole, a sentence that has almost become our shop’s slogan. For us it means more or less that we do what we want, when we want, without too much pressure from others: if we’re not into it anymore, we’re off to the beach so to speak.
