Animal prints are among the most widespread trends for early 2012, and we can trace this recent surge to roots laid in Japan over the past coupld years. Among the earliest adopters were Vans Japan, who brought us in-house designs and WTAPS collabo drops with the safari look, and even a cheeky fly print from Supreme as all the other brands were just catching up. Off the Wall continues this push by bringing to market three new lowtops as crafted by two of the riders they share with Alien Workshop. Anthony Van Engelen and Jason Dill teamed up on the Vans Old Skool ’92 Pro, Authentic Pro and Sk8-Lo and they run the range from black leather-accented cheetah fur to hidden cheetah spots inside a plain black exterior, and all the way back to a silvery snakeskin (respectively). Vans Syndicate releases are among the brand’s most limited, and you’ll find them on March 1st where available. via TDS
