Vans Celebrates the One Piece Film with the One Piece x Vans Authentic
The forthcoming One Piece Film: Red has captivated the attention of anime fans worldwide as it prepares to hit North America. The One Piece franchise has begun rolling out a number of collaborations to celebrate the movie’s release, and the newest addition is a playful iteration of the Vans Authentic silhouette. The new colorway features uppers that are crafted with a straw hat-like material that is inspired by Monkey D. Luffy’s straw hat from the series.
The laces are designed to look like a hemp rope, giving the silhouette an overall pirate aesthetic. Pirate flag motifs from the series cover different areas of the uppers while a red compass design that features Vans lettering sits on the tongue unit.
