Usugrow x Vans 2009 Spring/Summer Collection
by Eugene Kan, February 18, 2009
The dark illustrated style of Japanese artist USUGROW alongside Vans will culminate in a three-sneaker release next month. In a pack that features the SK-8 HI, AV Low and Half-Cab, the pack embodies many of USUGROW’s iconic traits. The sole use of black comes to the forefront with little contrast offered. Embroidered motifs make up the sides with his cryptic imagery seen along the side of the Vulcanized banding. The collection will begin hitting retailers in early March.
