WTAPS and Vans Collaborate Again With a Return of the “Bones” Motif

WTAPS and Vans Vault continue their always-popular collaborative capsule collection once again this fall, and this drop in particular should bring extra good news for fans of the history of the partnership. That’s because the coveted “bones” motif—a crossbones design seen on some of the most sought-after previous WTAPS x Vans releases—is coming back for some all-new models this season. The bones are back on the Sk8-Hi, Chukka Boot, and Authentic, each featured in black and olive colorways with special details like thick rubber foxing in hues matching the upper and smooth toe caps. The new WTAPS collection also features anaconda-skinned editions of the Era in white, black, and blue color options. Accompanying the sneakers is a military jacket, which also receives the bones motif in an all-over treatment.

The WTAPS x Vans Vault Era “Anaconda” launches on August 20th, with the “Bones” sneakers and jacket following on September 10th.
