Japanese brand SOPHNET. continues to work with giant footwear label Vans on its latest capsule of zip-up Sk8-Mids silhouettes along with an apparel range. The mid-top shoes are made available in a tonal navy and blue colorway option. The footwear is also accented with a white side strip along the footbed, alongside branding details from both labels. A notable element of the shoe is without a doubt the zipper incorporated onto the back of the shoe.
To complement the Sk8-Mid zip-up sneakers, SOPHNET. and Vans released a range of apparel. The capsule of garments includes t-shirts and long-sleeve shirts -- the two pieces come in white or navy blue canvas options. The selection of apparel offerings boast branding details across the back and top left corner on the chest.
