We hadn’t heard all that much of his plans after the spring 2011 collection dropped, so it’s always good news to learn of more new releases from the Taka Hayashi for Vans Vault. The latest is a slight variation on one of those early ’11 drops, itself a variant of one of Off the Wall’s greatest hits. The Taka Hayashi x Vans Vault Sk8-Hi immediately stands out even compared to the trio of Sk8s he dropped earlier this year thanks to an unprecedented leather wrap on the classic vulcanized waffle sole that gives this tonal brown combination of suede and leather a premium look that’s gotta be one of the best designs we’ve seen all in 2011 from any Vans collaborator. Click through to see that and a host of additional premium touches and look for these now at select Vans Vault stockists. via ST
