References: wtaps & highsnobiety
WTAPS and Vans continue their ongoing collaboration as the two launch their 15th range together, launching the latest in two separate drops. This time around, the capsule features two different themes -- the first one taps into militaristic themes that are true to WTAPS design language and applies that to a range of Vans silhouettes. It also incorporates the notable bones print.
The second collection is more seasonally appropriate with winter just around the corner, the silhouettes are made with a utilitarian design language with an elevated construction to combat the terrains of winter. The silhouettes in the new capsule include the "OG Chukka LX, OG Era LX, OG Old Skool LX, and Half Cab" -- all of which are detailed with the WTAPS logo stitched onto the suede uppers.
