The tagline for Japanese streetwear label WTAPS’ latest collaboration with Vans Syndicate was, “So many paths to choose from. The outcomes for each are uncertain. Decide on a path and keep moving.” This slogan showed up on the stripe of a couple WTAPS x Vans Sk8-Mids beneath a spiderweb, but apparently for their latest release, WTAPS is changing course and going the vertebrate route. ‘Bones’ is written upon dem stripe, with leopard print horeshair sidepanels and sherpa sockliners evoking images of some warm and fast Frankenstein animal. UGGs take note: this is how to do sherling on a mens shoe, and if you’re lucky enough to be in the land of the rising sun or have Japanese connects, they just hit select retailers over there. via Bee
