Lo spirito di collaborazione

Vans, the brand for action sports shoes and apparel, has teamed up with the leading European media platform and boutique Wasted Talent teamed up to launch a joint collection.

Created by a group of aperitivo enthusiasts with a love for surfing, Wasted Talent was launched in 2016 by a group of people who longed for a deeper, thought-provoking insight into the subcultures they identify with.
