It’s 3 o’clock in the morning - 12 hours left to go. The sound of the engines whizzing past the finish line makes it impossible to sleep. Unable to rest, two friends chat over their first sketch as they try to regain some strength. The ideas are flowing, but it’s come around to 4 a.m. and time to relieve the driver and carry on the race. Pedro gets behind the wheel, with Álvaro ready at the pit stop for support. As the battle to complete the 24-hour endurance race continues, the first VANDEL sketch lies on the table among racing time sheets.
Passionate about cars and racing, Macarena, Pedro and Álvaro teamed up on this project, guided by the vision of bringing the ‘gentleman driver’ spirit to the everyday lives of people who share their passion, making shoes that embody and transmit that essence.
