In just four short years, Los Angeles-founded Madhappy has brought awareness to mental health like no other label. Encompassing modern style with oft-colorful threads, the imprint has been putting away at outfitting the public and bringing awareness to the once-taboo subject one fashion piece at a time. Now they’ve dipped their toe into the footwear space, linking up with Vault by Vans for a special edition of the OG Style 43 LX.
A similar design to the well-known Authentic, the silhouette is a perfect blank canvas. And mostly blank it is, arriving clad in a marshmallow-cream canvas construction, with tonal liners and sole units to boot. But that’s all done deliberately, enabling the brand’s signature colorful stitchwork to truly shine. Mismatched colors at the heel roll from green to yellow, and red to blue, with the same four popping up around the vamp. Atop the tongue, the Madhappy name stitches with primary-colored threads, each letter distinct as it transitions through the colorful spectrum to complement the aforementioned stitch. What’s more, every pair delivers with a set of beads that allows for a great deal of friendship bracelet-inspired customization. For a closer look at the Madhappy Vans, see below.
