In 2015, Remington Guest and Heather Haber crossed paths in an UberPool ride, sparking a love story like no other with the duo’s formation of Southern California-based fashion label Advisory Board Crystals (Abc.). In May, Hypebeast sat down with the two to discuss this journey through the industry as yet another chapter has now surfaced — a collaboration with Vans.Keeping it within California, Abc. and Vans have taken on the EVDNT EXT ULTI, as revealed by reputable sneaker insider masterchefian. Crafting the “Miracle Conditions” colorway, the pair is loaded with details that fuse the two brands’ identities. Its mixed material upper takes on several olive hues with hits of gray and off-white joined by an iridescent finish at the enlarged eyelets, sockliner and medial toe. An Abc. dubrae hosts one end of the toggle lacing system with Vans’ signature jazz stripe visible at each side as well. A translucent outsole supports the sneaker while a serial number is said to be listed at the tongue, connecting to an Abc.-hosted certification system.While neither Advisory Board Crystals nor Vans have confirmed the project, masterchefian has shared that the EVDNT EXT ULTI “Miracle Conditions” is scheduled to drop on August 17 at a price of $175 USD. Stay tuned for an official announcement in the coming weeks and enjoy the first look above. View this post on Instagram A post shared by ?‍?
