Tolia Titaev’s and Gosha Rubchinskiy’s Rassvet (PACCBET) and Vans linked for the first time ever to create a small capsule collection centered around the Vans Skate Bold. Formerly known as Style 66 — which is one of Vans’ earliest skate shoes — the Skate Bold unites a straightforward silhouette and contemporary Vans tech. The Moscow-based skate label took the reins designing two complementary pairs, both of which feature monochrome colorways that might remind sharp-tongued critics of the dreary simplicity of Khrushchyovka apartment buildings. However, we say: not dreary simplicity! One shoe comes in a most colorful black and white, the other in a captivatingly life-affirming white and black. Both shoes impress with a two-tone outsole, Rassvet's Sunrise logo sewn on the tongue and golden decorative stitching. Next to both upbeat Skate Bolds, the capsule drop also features a small selection of appropriately themed apparel, including a reversible twill jacket, a longsleeve, and a duffle bag. By the way, the collection’s mascot is a dinosaur on a skateboard, because why the fuck not? You can buy the Vans X Rassvet collection at our web shop and our store in Frankfurt from September 23rd.
