'One Piece' and Vans Connect for a Pirate King-Inspired Footwear and Apparel Collection
Eiichiro Oda’s Japanese manga series reworks the Sk8-Hi, Old Skool and Authentic.
Vans has been on a hot streak in recent memory with its various collaborative launches. The Anaheim-based skateboarding brand is hot off the heels of revealing its sparkly team-up with Supreme and Swarovski and a weatherproof collection alongside Humidity, and now it’s adding One Piece to its repertoire ahead of the show’s One Piece Film: Red release.
In this partnership, you’ll find Eiichiro Oda’s iconic Japanese manga series deliver its playfulness to a trio of silhouettes and apparel pieces. Starting out with the Sk8-Hi, this offering is plastered with imagery from the series’ Punk Hazard days. The Old Skools are outfitted with Devil Fruits, all of which rest against a sky-inspired backdrop while the Authentics are done up straw hat-like upper halves that are embellished with personal symbols that reference Zoro, Franky and MC’s core nakama. Dropping alongside the sneakers are clothing items that include graphic-treated coach jackets and tees.
Interested in copping? The One Piece x Vans collection is slated to launch on November 11.
In case you missed it, artist Connor Tingley recently partnered up with Vault by Vans for a wild take of the Authentic.
