Supreme x Swarovski x Vans Old Skool Black snow boot coming from Joe Freshgoods, Vans OG Sk8-Hi LX 'Old Hold' Old Hold Black Sneakers Shoes VN0A4BVBVZ6 Vault by Vans “Chocolate Valley Madness” Collection. Inspired by stories of the Black travel experience in America, Joe Freshgoods delivers a series of clothing and shoes that incorporate themes of travel and leisure, with Black travelers struggling to grape welcoming and inclusive spaces early on.
For the collection, Joe imagined his own inclusive luxury retreat — Chocolate Valley Madness. The snowy utopia ia a log-cabin getaway reminiscent of the Midwestern winters Joe experienced growing up.
Chocolate Valley Madness is inspired by my desire for travel and research. For this collection I wanted to create something that aligns with the rich history of Vault by Vans, but from a new perspective. Chocolate Valley Madness marries the history of Black travel and leisure with winter-ready pieces that blend playfulness and functionality.

The Chicago-based designer brings the Madness to life in the collection’s lookbook, which features musician Barrington Darius posed as a 1950’s writer snowed-in at the Madness. The campaign serves as an homage to the history and work of Black writers like James Baldwin and Audre Lorde, who famously traveled abroad as they established their careers.
As always, Joe Freshgoods brings his signature color pallette to Vans as the sneakers and apparel are offered in Minor of Pink and Orange. The collection’s footwear includes two colorways of the Vans MTE Drill Chore Svart jacka in “Coral Almond” and “Camel.” As for the snow boot that was previewed in December, the Классические кеды vans authentic comes in three colorways, all of which feature a quilted nylon style upper with an all-weather MTE outsole to combat the cold winter weather.
The collection is complete with a Chocolate Valley Madness puffer in “Soft Buttercream” and a cardigan made with faux mohair and “Coral” jacquard stripes. Other offerings include a classic tee, ski-mask, cargo pants, and more.
