More about the upcoming Joe Freshgoods x Vault by Vans The Honeymoon Stage collection
Slowly creating a path in the space of sneaker collaborations, the label Joe Freshgoods is becoming a household name in the sneakerworld. The Chicago-based label and designer recently put the world on notice with his collaborations with Converse and New Balance, and now the designer can add 'The Honeymoon Stage' collab collection with Vault by Vans to his portfolio of sneaker collabs.
The designer first teased the collection on his Instagram story with a dashing pink and white box, accompanied by a "Everything Happens for a Reason" lettering printed across the shoebox's side. The top of the box featured a co-branded logo with Vans and Joe Freshgoods writing paired with each other.
Following up on the story, Freshgoods further revealed a pic of the JFG X VANS card, which was signed to him, with "Joe" lettering. The collaborative card story featured a caption written by the designer, "B**ch, I'm back." Freshgoods has now officially released the lookbook from the collaborative capsule with the skate brand, Vault by Vans, on his Instagram profile through a post.
The post's caption reads,
"For our latest collaboration, we partnered with @vansvault to introduce “ the honeymoon stage”. basically signaling the start to a strange yet educational relationship between myself and Vans this year. This is the mixtape before the album, Ha. Full Apparel collection done in-house. Everything is available EXCLUSIVELY through JFG. Releases date, pop ups, and more information available soon."
The designer revealed that three sneakers will be dropped as part of the footwear line from the latest collaborative capsule. The kicks are leading the collection, making them the most prominent part of 'The Honeymoon Stage.'
The Style 36 LX silhouette is given a personal touch by the designer, as he outfitted the lifestyle silhouettes with shaggy suede overlays and the Vans' signature checkerboard side panels. The checkerboard side panels feature his acronym "JFG" printed on various boxes.
The three colorways further feature the classic vulcanized rubber sole, clad in white. The white vulcanized rubber stripe features a leather jazz stripe atop it. The three colorways included in the collection are Pink, Red, and Peach, all of which speak to the lovey-dovey approach of the capsule.
The designer has also prepared apparel pieces to accompany the three-piece footwear line. The apparel collection includes off-white track pants, a satin bowling shirt, and socks. The entire collection features a co-branded logo of the two labels.
Freshgoods himself has confirmed that the collab will drop on his label's official e-commerce exclusively, although he hasn't revealed the price or release date info.
