Rowley XLT LX × GALLERY DEPT. – Giraffe
GALLERY DEPT. is no stranger to the world of footwear collaborations as it has previously teamed up with French luxury fashion house Lanvin in the past, and now they offer a take on Vans‘ iconic ’00s Rowley pro model. Designed by Josué Thomas — the artist and designer who helms GALLERY DEPT. — the bulky uppers are finished in a mix of premium materials with minimal GD. branding hits.
The most defining feature of this combo is undoubtedly the animal print suede, which sports the unmistakable geometric shapes seen on a giraffe. Those lanky animals don’t get enough love so it’s refreshing to see it getting some play on these.
