Project: The Crosspath

The Crosspath is Vans’ most versatile shoe—designed for everything from city streets to mountain peaks. Acting as a silhouette for product evolution, it grew over two years with features like GORE-TEX, Vibram, and Speedlace, becoming an apex shoe that served our athletes and attracted customers alike.

The campaign reflected Vans’ ethos: a creative exchange where athletes push us to innovate, and we build tools that fuel their Off The Wall lifestyle. With taglines like “Always Ready” and “Going Further,” the global launch spanned Tokyo, Paris, Newfoundland, London, Australia, Montreal, San Francisco, and Hawaii—showcasing the Crosspath’s all-terrain, all-style appeal.
