London-based label YMC has officially introduced its Vulcanised Sneaker capsule collection, which is imbued with casual eco-friendly style.

Crafted in Korea, the capsule includes four high-top, low-top, slip-on and mule silhouettes, all made of durable and lightweight canvas cotton uppers.

Each style was crafted with purpose and made to last, conceptualized with a focus on high-quality small-batch construction. All styles also utilize uniquely textured vulcanized rubber soles and handy pull tabs on the heels that allow for easy entry.

In layman’s terms, vulcanization is a range of processes used to harden rubber. The term originally referred exclusively to the treatment of natural rubber with sulfur, which is the most common practice. vulcanization is used to produce rubber hoses, shoe soles, erasers, children’s toys and more.

The brand’s clean-cut and causal ethos is infused in each shoe of the collection and incorporates a seasonal color palette of “Black,” “Off-White,” “Yellow” and “Green” hues. Both the low-top and high-top styles are a take on the classics. The sneakers include silver eyelets that are threaded with white string along with white-capped toes, OrthoLite insoles, “You Must Create” branded gum outsoles and Crepe foxing. The high-top sneaker retails for £110 or $141.15 while the low-top retails for £95 or $121.90.

YMC’s Vulcanised summer-ready mules feature a slip-on silhouette. Like their lace-up counterparts, the mules incorporate textured rubber soles and gum outsoles stamped with YMC’s logo. Finally, their slip-on style, much like the name implies, is a slip-on shoe, similar to YMC’s mules. All previously mentioned features are incorporated into this sneaker sans the lace-up detailing. The mules retail for £90 or $115.48 and the slip-on sneakers go for £95 or $121.90.

The Nike SB Dunk Low x N7 sneakers have sold out via the SNKRS app, however you can still snag them on the resale market.

Both the “Opti Yellow and University Red” and “Black and Sail” styles are available on several resale marketplaces now, including StockX and others. The sneakers, which originally retailed for $110 each, were delivered in collaboration with creatives from the Haudenosaunee Confederacy and Ojibwe communities. The two colorways pay homage to their culture and the natural world that they covet.

On StockX now, the Nike SB Dunk Low x N7 “Opti Yellow and University Red” is listed for as low as $160 for a men’s 8.5 and as high as $500, which is the asking price for several sizes.
