Vans Vault x Taka Hayashi – Fall 2009 Collection

Vans Vault x Taka Hayashi – Fall 2009 Collection

taka_hayashi_vans.jpg

It’s a new year, so it’s about time for a new collaboration between designer extraordinaire Taka Hayashi and Vans.  This time, it’s the Vans Vault collection that the Japanese-born artist has made his own.  Containing two No Quarter LXs, two Velocita LXs and a trio of Akat LX, all three models draw heavily upon a combination of traditional Native American aesthetics, vintage military surplus and 1960’s Italian shoes.  The mashup is nothing short of stunning — exceptionally sharp colour choices compliment these rarely seen models — the collection really stands out as Taka’s *own*.  They’ll all be ready this summer, and you can find more pics after the jump, via mashKULTURE
