This partnership features a reimagining of two iconic Vans models: the LX Authentic 44 in navy and white, showcasing a sun-faded upper and aged sole, and the LX Half-Cab 33 crafted from black suede, complete with a yellowed sole and a custom leather kiltie tassel. Customers on launch day can personalize their purchases with vintage patches and brass letter beads, creating unique pieces. Additionally, Better With Age will showcase its Spring/Summer 2026 collection, a retrospective t-shirt archive book, and an exclusive collaborative t-shirt.
