Upcycling sensation Nicole McLaughlin links up with Vans for her own utility-driven take on the Vans Slip-On VR3 LX as part of her ‘Gardening Tote’ pack. Crafted with a brown canvas base, the upper is threaded with crisp-black canvas with white contrast stitching while similar tone bungee detailing arcs across the toe creating small pockets for storage. A custom NM logo is stitched on the tongue while loops for tying your shoes to your bag arc around the heel. Underfoot we find a thick grey midsole complete with black rubber piping layered above a waffled outsole.
