PROJECT DESCRIPTION

The Vans® Outlaws collection reimagines the Wild West through a modern lens, merging frontier aesthetics with Vans' signature comfort and wearability. As a Color and Material Designer, I led the development of intricate detailing, rich leather textures, and hardware-inspired accents that pay tribute to cowboy boot craftsmanship. The collection balances heritage with playfulness, delivering a unique blend of nostalgia and contemporary design.
