Hospitality

Drawing inspiration from French court footwear, JJJJound and Vans have designed three versions of the classic Vans models, making them a convenient option to integrate into a more subtle uniform. By focusing on the hospitality workers, the two brands come together to showcase and celebrate the remarkable and stylish individuals who diligently work at esteemed restaurants in the vibrant city of Montreal. Through this initiative, JJJJound seeks to shine a spotlight on the exceptional individuals and hope to inspire a greater recognition of the human element within the hospitality industry and promote a culture of respect and gratitude towards all those involved.
