Vans is proud to join forces with WP Lavori in Corso for an exciting head-to-toe collection. Inspired by the ‘Paninari’ - a subculture of 80s Italian hipsters whose style was fueled by Americana culture, the Vans x WP collection celebrates our forty-plus-years of partnership with this iconic brand.
The Vans x WP Lavori in Corso Authentic 44 DX Shoes are constructed with a simple low top, lace-up profile. These shoes also have sturdy canvas uppers, metal eyelets, and signature rubber waffle outsoles. They borrow details from the original Authentic while offering modernised comfort with upgraded Ortholite® sockliners. Along with throwback details like the original style number, higher glossed foxing tape, original drill lining weight, and cotton laces, these classic lace-up shoes feature a patchwork bandana print, a fabric made by Vans exclusively for WP in the 80s.
A custom shoebox inspired by the original custom WP x Vans boxes completes the nostalgic footwear collection.
