Another season, another Vans Vault x Taka Hayashi campaign. Summer saw a couple of Sk8-His and Eras equipped with a “Sea Life” motif, one that featured pastelle colors and a playful seashell print, but this time around the famed designer takes inspiration from the premium huarache crafting of textured leather. Of course we’re not talking about a Nike inspiration here. Instead, the likes of the Vans Mid Skool, Vans Era LX, and Vans Sk8 Hi receive luxurious makeovers in patterned leather throughout, whether it be a checkerboard print on the Sk8-Hi and Era, or a quilted nature on the Mid School. Sick with us after the break for a full rundown and know that each style will be available come October at select Vans retailers.
