As mentioned previously, local skate shop SHOWROOM broke new ground in a first of it’s kind collaboration with iconic footwear brand Vans with the release of their two-piece collection, 21:30. In a few short days the collection has garnered an incredibly positive reception within the global sneakerhead community thanks to its sleek yet edgy look.
Here’s a video by footwear giant Vans that showcases the collection in its ‘natural habitat’: on the feet of the nightlife skater.
Building on the icons Sk8 Hi Pro and Old Skool Pro silhouettes, the “21:30” collection is designed with the night skater in mind. Both sides live and breathe skate culture, with many in the SHOWROOM community taking to the pavement via skateboard when the shop closes at 9:30pm, hence the collection’s name.
What gives the collection a life of its own is the coating on the panels which provide an an eye-popping shine thanks to the reflective 3M material. The shoe explodes from the darkness when contacted by direct light, affording its wearer not only style points when executing tricks under blinks of a camera shutter but also safety when skating within the congested cityscape. It’s a design element that poses equal parts form and function.
Sporting a translucent icy outsole and Duracap midsole, both styles showcase an interchangeable velcro sidestripe logo that allow for wearers to switch between a white sidestripe and the signature Vans checkered motif for greater fashion versatility. The right heel sports a debossed Vans x SHOWROOM logo.
The 21:30 collection will be priced at RM359 for the Sk8 Hi Pro and RM329 for the Old Skool Pro, and will be officially launch in-stores from December 9, 2016 onward exclusively at SHOWROOM Kuala Lumpur. For more info do follow Showroom official page on Facebook and Instagram.
