The Vans range has been riding the line between luxurious drops and more street level skate sneakers with increasing ease as of late. Certainly falling into the category of luxurious is the ongoing partnership with Taka Hayashi, who has been continuously pushing the boundaries of what a pair of Vans should look like. For instance: when was the last time you saw crepe soles on a Vans silhouette? His upcoming pieces from the Vans Vault Spring 2012 collection all feature the squishy crepe treatment on bottom, from the Oxford-looking design of the Sierra Trek LX in both the high and low variants, to the strapped up leather pairs of the Engineer Boot LX. Hit the jump for the full shots of the latest from the Taka Hayashi x Vans Vault collaboration and let us know what you think in the comments below. via FNG
