Los Angeles-based companies Vans and Kids of Immigrants are launching their first sneaker collaboration. Working off of a white version of Vans new Lowland CC silhouette, each of the 400 pairs included in the drop was hand distressed.

“The shoe material didn’t distress straight from the factory like we wanted it to look so we took it in,” Buezo said. “It was five to six days of working 10 hours a day. That process of touching every product and seeing it go forward is huge.”

The shoes are accompanied by a paint brush and sand paper (shown above) for the owner to further customize if so desired. In addition to the sneaker, the drop will also include a Kids of Immigrants hoodie, t-shirt and bucket hat.

Reflecting the ethos of Kids of Immigrants, a brand founded by first-generation Americans Daniel Buezo and Weleh Dennis in 2016, the launch celebrates the the immigrant community, the working class and all people living on the margin.

Underscoring the collaboration, Vans is donating $5,000 to A New Way of Life, a non-profit that helps women get back on their feet after they’ve been released from prison. As well, Kids of Immigrants will partner with the non-profit to build a community garden at a location in Los Angeles housing eight women.

Priced at $100, the shoe will first be released on October 2, 2020 on Greenhouse, a Foot Locker-owned app, plus Foot Locker’s online stores, its location in Compton, Los Angeles and kidsofimmigrants.us.

Part of his debut collection with the retailer, the men's "giant fit" chino priced at 89.50 is 100% sold out! Relecting the popularity of the silhouette, the women's wide-leg pleated cargo is also sold out. 

With wider fits and chino swinging back into popularity, we can't help but wonder what sneakers and shoes will be coming along for the ride. Any nominations?

What was your favorite storyline?
The GOAT Serena Williams says farewell to her care The GOAT Serena Williams says farewell to her career as a professional tennis player in the September issue of American Vogue.

In the cover story, which is a must read, Williams shares some thoughts on her evolution away from tennis and says,"Believe me, I never wanted to have to choose between tennis and a family. I don’t think it’s fair. If I were a guy, I wouldn’t be writing this because I’d be out there playing and winning while my wife was doing the physical labor of expanding our family. Maybe I’d be more of a Tom Brady if I had that opportunity. Don’t get me wrong: I love being a woman, and I loved every second of being pregnant with Olympia. I was one of those annoying women who adored being pregnant and was working until the day I had to report to the hospital—although things got super complicated on the other side. And I almost did do the impossible: A lot of people don’t realize that I was two months pregnant when I won the Australian Open in 2017."

The cover editorial was styled by Gabriella Karefa-Johnson, who in 2020 became the first black woman to style a U.S. Vogue cover.

This cover was also one of the last projects hairstylist #LatishaChong worked on before  she sadly passed away in July this year.

In 'Summer Renaissance' from Beyoncé's Renaissanc In 'Summer Renaissance' from Beyoncé's Renaissance album, the lyrics" This Telfar bag imported, Birkins, them shits in storage." Is creating a bit of a stir between the pro and anti Birkin dolls. 

After The Cut published a story titled "Our Condolences To The Birkin" the internet got into their feelings. 
 
Tiktoker tastechidera weighs in on the first video, then on the second clarifies her stance as not anti Telfar.

The last video is by stylist Ebony Brown ( TiKTok fashionablyfearless) who does not support owning a Birkin.
