Vans created its first camera together with Leica - As part of the Vault by Vans x Ray Barbee collection "Capturing the Journey"

Vans is a brand that has always played a great role in skate culture – a role reaffirmed both by its history and by its collaborations. The most recent, for example, involves pro-skater Ray Barbee, one of the first professional skaters to bring freestyle style to the street, as well as a photographer and musical artist who has been on the scene for over thirty years. Barbee's photographic work is mainly taken with a Leica M6, a historic camera model produced by the German brand between 1984 and 2002. Creating a great cultural short circuit, Vans by Vault has also brought Leica into the collaboration, producing a limited edition of its first branded camera that has the official name of Leica D-Lux 7 Vans x Ray Barbee, which will be decorated with Barbee's signature, covered with Vans' check pattern and accompanied by a coordinated shoulder strap and dustbag.
