Vans' sneakers are deeply connected with skate culture and seem to have a strong impression of being for casual wear.
However, the two pairs of shoes by "White Mountaineering" that are on display this time are quite different from the usual ones.
The base of the project was the "CHUKKA 49 DX" and "SK8 LOW" by . Both models have been around since the founding of the historic brand.
The feature is the original botanical pattern printed on the nubuck material of the upper. For the "CHUKKA 49 DX," the same pattern is laser processed on top of the print to create a three-dimensional design.
CHUKKA 49 DX ¥16,500
SK8 LOW ¥15,400
These two pairs will go on sale on October 28 (Sat). They will be available at White Mountaineering's directly managed stores and official website, stores nationwide, Vans Store Harajuku, BILLY's, and other stores.
This is a sneaker for adults with dignity. It will definitely fit in with traditional casual styles for fall and winter, such as lapeled jackets and knits.
