Japanese boutique DELUXE has partnered with Vans for a unique spin on the classic Slip-On silhouette that pays homage to one of the most legendary symbols in Japanese culture – the dragon. Dressed in a stately black color scheme constructed of premium suede, the left and the right sneaker feature a mirror image of an embroidered dragon whose snake-like body slithers all the way around its lateral side toward the heel – lending to an aesthetic that is clearly derived from Japanese souvenir jackets. In Japan, dragons are often depicted as serpentine creatures are that are associated with rainfall and act as water deities which perfectly plays into this DELUXE offering’s icy outsole equipped with another Japanese graphic. Vans branding can be seen featured throughout this model on its rear nameplate, midfoot tag, and the insole that shares branding responsibility with DELUXE. Pairs of this fierce Vans Slip-On are expected to arrive at Asia retailers such as Invincible tomorrow, June 16th.
