Justin R. Saunders came up with the renowned design firm JJJJound. In 2006, Saunders' design studio began operations, eventually evolving into a collaborative apparel brand that has tried to inspire through various approaches since its creation. This comprises the design and construction of massive physical locations and the development of enduring and high-quality goods.

The studio's primary goal was to look for common elements prevalent in conventional design. JJJound has worked with several reputable businesses, including ASICS, Puma, New Balance, and Reebok. This aided the firm's image as a design pioneer, notably in the shoe business.

For the latest sneaker lineup of 2023, the label joined forces with the American skateboarding and streetwear titan, Vans. The duo has worked on the latter's iconic three silhouettes, Sk8-Mid, Slip-On, and Authentic. They have created a modest collection that appears fit for the upcoming fall seasons.

The simple concept of JJJJound is evident in all three of the sneakers, which are clothed in cream and white tones. Suede panels in a subtle tan color cover the toe box, eye stays, tongue flap, and Jazz Stripe on the Vans Sk8-Mid.

The remaining part of this pair and the complete upper for the two styles, Authentic and Slip-On, is covered in a stark white canvas material. A cream-colored vulcanized rubber midsole, as well as an outer sole unit, round out the style.

The collab's sneakers will be offered in customized co-branded shoe boxes.
