Vans Vault x Taka Hayashi Sk8-Lo Reissue

The art world collides with the skating world yet again this season, with Japanese creator Taka Hayashi partnering up with Vans Vault. The resulting pieces may well be too good to skate in, and this Sk8-Lo is no exception. The construction remains relatively unchanged – the uppers are crafted from hard-wearing textile and velvety suede – but alternate side stripe colours and playful patterns add an artistic edge. There’s digital camo up top, checkerboarding wrapped around the sides and a free-flowing, landscape-like effect on the outsole.Textile UppersSuede OverlaysHigh Foxing TapeVulcanised MidsoleRubber Outsole
