Taka Hayashi x Vans Vault TH Derby Trek LX

A project that has seen countless well-executed silhouettes since its inception, the ongoing relationship between Japanese designer Taka Hayashi and Vans Vault sees a few new iterations in the form of the TH Derby Trek LX. The duo, which aptly receives the “Vault” moniker for its heightened quality and limited distribution, arrives in two mature colorways that take on premium Horween leather uppers. A unique take on the traditional Derby footwear style, each pair is set atop a contrasting-colored, lugged outsole and is finished off with complementary metal eyelets, threaded laces, and a supple interior leather lining. Understated footbed embroidery branding play into the collaborative that is as street ready as it is mountain ready. Look for availability to begin hitting select Vans Vault stockists beginning this August.
