If you wanted to trace the recent hype explosion for classic Vans silhouettes that look like they just fell out of a jewelry store display, the answer is undeniably Mattias Gollin. The self-titled Italian fashion label and design studio constructed a Vans Authentic upper out of beads, the sneaker world fell in love, and the rest, as they say, is history.
Now, in the wake of Pearlized Packs and gemstone-covered pairs of Authentics, Old Skools, and Slip-Ons, the OG is back with a pink Rosetta colorway. The Mattias Gollin x Vans Authentic Rosetta keeps the hand-beaded aesthetic in a bright, summer-friendly palette.
