Rowley XLT LX × GALLERY DEPT. – Neopolitan
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.
With a colourway named ‘neopolitan’ there’s no arguing the sweet-toothed inspiration behind this combination. For us there’s an extra layer of reference to Pharrell’s Icecream franchise, although that might be reading too much into things.
