Vans Shoeline


blue hairline follows a black couple emerging from the waters of Lake Michigan and traversing their hometown of Chicago. This video portrait, crafted from spontaneous camcorder footage, draws on the myth of the Nommos—hermaphroditic, fish-like beings from Dogon cosmology.  

Julian Klincewicz invited 14 artists to reinterpret the Vans Bold Ni Shoe Collection, drawing inspiration from the Latin prefix "COM," meaning "together." This collection celebrates three core values Klincewicz sees as essential to human connection, each represented in metallic gold on the tongues of the Bold Ni LX trio. The design is completed with hand-sketched stars, hearts, and flowers, adding a personal touch to each pair.
