The original action sports and lifestyle brand Vans will present its second collaboration collection 'Off The Rhyme' with INVINCIBLE. The collaboration was inspired by the rhythm, movement, and natural wear and tear on skates in Barnes' classic silhouette, Old School.

This project reinterprets 'Jazz Stripe', which symbolizes Barnes, as an element that expresses motion and rhythm across various silhouettes. Continuing the design direction of the first collaboration, it emphasized the deconstructive design and double-layer structure.

Inspired by the grip tape and the wear and tear created on the sidewalk, skaters implemented a structure that revealed a new layer over time to visualize changes unique to skate shoes.




The upper overlay is composed of different patterns on the left and right by applying splatter graphics that seem to be splattered with paint. This asymmetric pattern expresses variations and movements inspired by the free flow of jazz. Barnes' iconic checkerboard pattern sits on the underlay, transforming the graphic representing the brand into a structural element. As wearing and wearing progresses, the checkerboard pattern is revealed, and the layered structure of the product is more emphasized.
