As a long-time Vans collaborative partner, mastermind Japan‘s signature skull-and-crossbones logo has graced many of the California-based brand’s signature silhouettes — from the Vans Sk8-Hi to the Vans Old Skool. Now the two are back again for another small co-branded capsule collection, built around the vans slip on baratas. This time around, mastermind has opted to amplify the Slip-On’s house shoe-style by dressing it in a black satin to give off a cozy silky look. Per usual, their signature skull and crossbones logo is featured prominently — embroidered on the toebox in black and grey — while more subtle detailing is provided by tonal black script embroidered on the tongue and gold stitched text on the heel. Union Los Angeles has teamed up with their California neighbors Vans for a three colorway tribute to the iconic vans old skool hombre baratas. Simple, refined, and elegant, the three spring-ready pastel shades feature luxurious treatments ranging from a twill weave, contrasting suede, and pebble grain leather. Tonal options include Dusty Pink, Muted Gold, and Off-White colorways while a natural veg-tan leather hits the inner lining to match a marine blue boat shoe outsole for a lifestyle twist. Union has also hinted at matching apparel for a full-on capsule so stay tuned. As one of the first imprint’s to bring contemporary footwear to the booming fashion metropolis of South Korea, Casestudy is finally getting the reception it deserves with a few sneaker collaborations allowing them to pave their own space within the constantly changing sneaker culture. While creating their own Kayano 25 with Asics last Summer, this following season breathes new life into some of Vans’ iconic silhouettes — the zapatillas vans mujer baratas — giving it a connecting yellow tooling that plays on the both label’s DNA. Both the Era and Style 36 arrive with overlays dyed in a deep mustard tone as white underlays arrive emblazoned with retail location’s logo ad infinitum, which somehow forms the likeness of the Anaheim name’s most coveted checkerboard print. Laces are overrated. For whatever reason the sneaker industry has kept the technology around since 3300 BC when in reality, shoes like the legendary adidas TMac 4 and its HUG system showed us that there’s life after the hassle-prone outdated lacing system. Even Jordan Brand tried to disguise shoelaces in the Air Jordan XX8 in a transitional move to help usher us all into the modern age. But we weren’t ready. Vans is the latest to show us a life post-lace tying with this new vans old skool baratas mujer collection. Sure, the laces are still there as to not shock traditionalists, but the real move is just unzipping the side-panel. They aren’t the Nike Mags, but you won’t ever have to waste the precious five seconds of tying your shoes ever again.
