Vans partners with acclaimed chefs and restaurateurs Jon Shook and Vinny Dotolo, to release a six-piece assortment of footwear designed with the professional kitchen environment in mind. The line-up includes special colorways of the Vans Authentic, Classic Slip-On, Old Skool and Sk8-Hi Reissue.

Embellished with colors and artwork from their corresponding establishments, Vans footwear styles designed for Jon & Vinny’s, animal and Son of a Gun are built with specially coated water-and-dirt-resistant canvas uppers and enhanced footbeds, making them better suited for demanding kitchen settings. Durable water-resistant coating allows liquids to slide off shoe surfaces while upgraded cushioning provides arch support during long periods of standing. Each restaurant showcases the Vans form in two special make-ups; Jon & Vinny’s transfers their signature green and white tones onto the Authentic and Sk8-Hi Reissue while animal presents its monochromatic aesthetic in an all-black sneaker set and the nautically-inspired Son of a Gun rounds out the assortment with sea blue executions of the Classic Slip-On and Old Skool.

Vans footwear styles designed for Jon & Vinny’s, animal and Son of a Gun will be worn by Jon, Vinny and staff members at their respective locations on Fairfax Avenue and 3rd Street in Los Angeles. With no release date unveiled yet, look for updates on Vans’ kitchen shoe program at XXL and at Vans.com.
