Like long-time peer WTAPS, NEIGHBOROOD is well-acquainted with Vans, offering a number of collaborative releases in the past. And though long since their last offering, the Japanese label is soon to rejoin the Off The Wall family with their very own Sk8-Hi and Era.
As if no time has past, the two return with subdued takes on both silhouettes. Each, while distinct in their respective forms, follows a very simple scheme, with greyed out panels lying adjacent to darker, blacked out suedes. The laces and tongue follow suit as does the high-top’s Jazz Stripe, while the co-branded additions elsewhere opt for a contrasted white shade. Each example highlights classic NEIGHBORHOOD slogans such as “THE FILTH AND THE FURY” as well as the equally prolific “TECHNICAL APPAREL” stamp.
Take a closer look at both pairs below and expect a release to arrive via NEIGHBORHOOD.jp on July 10th.
