Iconic skate brand Vans has teamed up with Japanese fashion label Napapijri to launch a new unisex clothing collection that blends urban and rural aesthetics.
The new collection borrows from the Vans MTE range, fusing its signature styles with Napapijri's outwear looks. As a result, the new collection features a range of outerwear garments, including an anorak jacket, a graphic long sleeve, an eye-catching crossbody bag, a sherpa fleece bucket hat, and a statement beanie.
The headlining item is the color-blocked anorak, which is made from recycled nylon. In addition, the jacket boasts an extra-cozy polar fleece lining and presents a subtle checkered pattern on the bottom half. In addition, the anorak is offered in either a gray/black or all-black colorway. According to Vans, the new collaborative collection is set to drop on November 5 at Vans retail stores and on the company's website.
