Vans Taps WHIMSY for a Set of Bold Duo-Toned Authentics
Alongside socks, apparel, hats and bags.
After unveiling its recent “Olde English” pack, Vans is returning with its latest collaborative project with Osaka-based socks brand WHIMSY.
Leading the collaboration are two pairs of reworked Authentics. The lighter colorway has an upper that’s separated into two tones – a white canvas top and a textured forefoot panel that holds a slightly cream-colored tone. Detailed with red accents at the heel, tongue and side tab, the sneaker is complete with a contrasting baby blue midsole. The darker colorway comes with black canvas at the top and leather at the forefoot panel. A bright neon midsole and heel stay add a bold highlight element to the footwear piece. Both colorways are reinforced with 4-stitches at the heel stay and Ortholite® insole technology. Other pieces in the capsule, include socks, apparel, hats and bags to round out the concise assemblage.
The Vans x WHIMSY Authentics Capsule will be available at BILLY’S’ website on June 14 and at WHIMSY’s flagship store in Horie, Osaka June 22 for approximately $83 USD.
