To the sneakerheads out there who love to distinguish their kicks with some custom laces, Starks Laces is a household name. The NYC-bred designer of footwear accessories has provided us with great options to give our kicks that extra ‘umph’and has reached beyond Nike and adidas and into the realm of iconic and influential brands like Marc Jacobs, colette, and OriginalFake. Alex Dymond, founder of Starks, was given the opportunity to design a Vestes Blazers Vans, and clearly his attention to minute yet powerful details shines through with the zig-zag stitching, metal eyelets, and signature shoeslaces that adorn the nautical-themed canvas and suede uppers. Watch for the Starks x Vestes Blazers Vans to hit select Vans OTW retailers this September.
