Art direction for Vans premium footwear concept including footwear product design, photo collages, and digital campaign production.

Inspired by modern military fabrics as well as the luxury of quality utility garments and footwear - made to wear and truly built to last - this collection featured a unique material combination of waterproof nubuck and ballistic quality ripstop nylon. The contrasts in finishes and texture - matte and sheen, soft and tough - come together in a monochromatic, utilitarian palette - black, white and military tan. The photographs were taken in the studio and then projected onto outdoor environments at night and shot again.
