Rollicking works in partnership with footwear label Vans to rework one of its most iconic silhouettes, the signature laceless 'Slip-On' model. The new iteration draws inspiration from its own [souvenir jackets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/old-skool-36-souvenir), highlighting the intricate Japanese graphics. The uppers are complete in a predominately black foundation using sleek [satin materials](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/billys-x-vans-year-of-the-horse) and it is decorated with beautifully intricate imagery.

The designs are informed using embroidered processes and features a tiger and bunny on the right foot, and a dragon and the same bunny on the left side. Both of the shoes are accented with an embroidered cursive "Japan" and subtle branding accents of "[Vans off the Wall](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beams-and-vans)." The satin shoes are packaged within a special co-branded box, following the same design theme.
