@vans is a great Californian brand that has always stood for free expression and the culture that shapes the street. Our director and photographer, the brilliant @mattjonesphotography_ — a force of nature behind the lens and one of the most intuitive, generous image makers working today — wanted casting that felt truly connected to that legacy: young people who could authentically be part of the scene and embody the ethos. Working with our fantastic casting partners @sixwolvescasting Wolves and through direct street casting, we built a world that felt lived-in, real, and culturally grounded. Here are just a few images from a massive canvas.
Grateful for the partnership and trust, and for a brand that continues to champion originality and the communities that keep culture moving.
