Vans and KENZO continue to work in collaboration with the latest launch of the duo's capsule prepared for the Spring 2020 season. The silhouettes include the classic Old Skool and Sk8-Hi sneakers that have been redesigned and painted in vivid design patterns.
This includes all-over flower prints -- all of the prints are drawn from KENZO's archives as a nod to both contributing efforts. Each sneaker comes in three different prints and are offered in men and women's sizing options. To accompany the sneakers are some apparel pieces and accessories designed by Felipe Oliveira Baptista. There will also be a limited edition KENZO skateboard to make the joint effort with the help of The Skateroom as well.
