As the countdown to Carmen is starting wind down we gain some perspective on the inspiration behind the Sole Classics x Vans Vault “Carmen” collaboration. The “Carmen” is inspired from the rich history of Ohio and the forgotten story of one of the greatest Ohio high school football running backs to live, Jack “Ice” Henderson. Every detail from the football leather heel tab to the golden brown upper and even the name are derived from his story. Without a doubt “Carmen” is a beautiful shoe with an even more beautiful story that truly embodies Ohio and “the heart of it all.” For the full story of the Sole Classics x Vans Vault “Carmen” go to Sole Classics’ website. The Sole Classics x Vans Vault “Carmen” will be available this Friday 5.25.13 at Sole Classics in Columbus for $110. The collaboration will also be available online via Kingsrowe.com later that evening.
