# Anime-Inspired Footwear Designs These Anime Vans Sneakers are Inspired by JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure By Kalin Ned | Published 2019-03-29 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/anime-vans References: [hypebeast](https://hypebeast.com/2019/3/vans-jojos-bizarre-adventure-collection-release-information) & [bandai-fashion.jp](http://bandai-fashion.jp/item/item-1000134253) The latest anime [Vans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kpop-demon-hunters-1) silhouettes have a curious aesthetic that is quite experimental. The design pays tribute to [JoJo’s](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jojos-bizarre-adventure) Bizarre Adventure, particularly two characters — Giorno Giovanna and Bruno Bucciarati. One of the designs takes on the upper of the Vans Era Pro through an attention-captivating fuchsia colorway and a velvety texture, with the JoJo logo present on the sole. The style is laceless, with gold accents recalling symbols from the show. The second anime Vans sneakers boast the Slip-On and incorporate "a standout vamp zip compartment that reveals quotes from the characters." The anime-derived inspiration is a movement that is continuing to experience heavy traction within the scope of the footwear industry.
