We’ve seen what Marc Jacobs has done with the Vans Slip-Ons, and it is really is quite incredible. In the same vein, Ralph Lauren has released a Slip-On shoe with little skull and crossbones all-over! It looks so sick! Sadly, it was only released in Japan, but if you can get ahold of stuff from Japan, these can’t be missed! Believe it or not, Polo shirts were actually released in Japan featuring the same logo! Why do they get all the good stuff… via LaMJC.

Oki-ni and Adidas redesigned the 1980’s trainer exclusive for Oki-ni. They are available in three colorways, metal grey and pink, forest and aqua, blue ribbon and calvi. Personally I like the blue one since it has a taste of the classic, and looks sharp. Get yours at Oki-ni for $167.
