Leftfoot Taiwan and Vans have put together a collaborative effort inspired by artist and part-owner of Leftfoot Taiwan, Jahan Loh. His 2007 Dragon Chasers exhibition featured a series of art pieces revolving around the Asian cultural concept of chasing dragons. This theme is seen once again in this SK8-HI which features a suede and patent leather upper. Other details include embossed scales on the heel to represent that of a dragon, the use of purple representing honor and royalty in China and a clear sole revealing artwork from Jahan Loh.

    Patent leather on Vans looks terrible. I agree with the other two posts that the purple toe looks bad too.
