Pushing the boundaries and thinking differently is nothing new to Vans surfers Alex Knost (from Costa Mesa, California) and Lee-Ann Curren (from Biarritz, France). Whether in the water or out, they know that true self-expression means being unapologetically yourself. In this second season of their genderless head-to-toe collection from Vans, Alex and Lee-Ann worked together to integrate new colors and materials, driving a unique approach to progression with product and inclusivity.

Their “outside-the-lines” way of thinking, both on a wave and off, has come to life in the new Vans X Curren X Knost Colfax Low. Featuring elevated, sustainable full-grain leather uppers inspired by 70s interiors and automotive design, the Alex Knost/Lee-Ann Curren Colfax Low is a sleek, versatile, and style-focused silhouette that’s ideal in any terrain. From the busy city to the rugged coastline, this utilitarian lace-up shoe is built on a utility lugged outsole for a rugged outdoors aesthetic, and the webbing pulls at the back are drawn directly from the original Colfax Boot.

For Alex and Lee-Ann, it’s about more than creating a collection that people look good wearing-it is about feeling good when you are wearing it.
