Julian Klincewicz

Vault by Vans reunites with Julian Klincewicz for another masterfully crafted collection of footwear and apparel inspired by his childhood summers in Union Pier, Michigan.

Summers in Michigan

“This collection for me is really inspired by the world I experienced in Michigan. It is inspired by the feeling, the memories, the spirit it represents. I tried to approach each piece of footwear and apparel with a kind of humility and practicality in mind, as well as the idea of time. What would I want to wear there? How will it change? How does something like a shoe gain value as it deteriorates? Through the memories you make while wearing them.”

Made To
Be Worn Down

“My collection is meant to be worn and worn down, the suedes are meant to fade from bright to muted, from vivid to sun-bleached shades, and the shirts are meant to have their sleeves cut and rolled because it’s so hot and humid. The items are meant to be made individual by the owner. They’re meant to be tools for a summer spent running, playing, adventuring - they’re simply pieces to facilitate experiences.
