This summer, earthy coyote or chic blue . The Rivera Raiders and Vans produced two pairs that were in the air of the times and the scene.

The brand "liberate" and "raiders" are two contradictory words.LiberaidersThe brand has a worldwide perspective that extends beyond Japan. Each season, the brand presents collections inspired by various locations around the world, with a worldwide perspective that is not limited to Japan.

While the brand has the essence of the 90's street fashion such as military, travel, rock and roll, and photography, it is also a brand that is rapidly gaining recognition for its products that use a lot of high-performance outdoor apparel technology.

Now, the brand's next move was a collaboration that was unintentionally satisfying.

The other party is a brand that needs no explanation.Vans. From the "Anaheim Factory Collection," which inherits the manufacturing methods used when the company was founded, two types of shoes, "AUTHENTIC" and "SLIP-ON," will be released. Let's take a look at them in detail below.

VANS × Liberaiders CLASSIC SLIP-ON 98 DX
Color : BLACK Size: US4-US12
￥13,200

This pair features long-fur suede and bright blue cotton twill. The most important point is the embroidery of an origami crane placed on the left foot section. They are placed so that they can be seen from the front when you skateboard in a regular stance. Furthermore, when the upper is lifted up and worn, the crane is also a landmark.

The "Liberaiders" slogan "DESTINATION UNKNOWN" is printed on the midsole, and the "Liberaiders" logo is embroidered on the backside of the heel. The "DESTINATION UNKNOWN" logo is embroidered on the back side of the heel, and the words "DESTINATION UNKNOWN" are printed on the clear outsole in a transparent form. The design shines through every time the skater moves.

VANS × Liberaiders AUTHENTIC 44 DX
Color : COYOTE Size: US4 - US12
￥13,200

For a pair with an earthy look, take note of the upper. The upper is made of two fabrics: coyote-colored suede and cotton twill with the brand's logo font scattered on it. The colors are consistent, but the materials are different, so you can feel the expression in the pair.

The attention to detail is also noteworthy. Both sides of the heel are embroidered with paper cranes, and the specifications allow the wearer to feel the "Liberaders" every time they wear the shoes. The chrome-colored metal lace tips also feature the logo, and the clear outsole has the words "DESTINATION UNKNOWN" on it. The olive coloring on the inside and the pis-signature give the shoes a military look.
