Skull-Adorning Tracksuits

mastermind Japan Drops a Tracksuit Along with Its Old Skool V36 Shoe

— September 26, 2018 — Fashion
mastermind Japan dropped a collaborative checkerboard Vans Old Skool V36 sneaker back in August -- to accompany the silhouette, the fashion label releases a matching tracksuit. The Japanese label created the monochromatic tracksuit to complement the footwear option and it boasts similar design elements. To match the checkerboard design, the sides of the sleeves and the legs of the tracksuit are finished in a checkerboard design pattern.

There are also co-branded details on the back of the zip-up jacket, where it sees mastermind Japan's skull and crossbones motif along with Vans' slogan graphic that reads "Off The Wall" on its shoulders. The tracksuit is set to hit California Dept store locations on September 29, following an online drop set for October 6.
