WACKO MARIA and Vans are back for a collaborative new trio that are exclusive for Japan.

The collab arrives via the Vans Authentic 44 silhouette and highlights WACKO MARIA’s iconic “Leopard” print. Offered in hues of brown and black, green and black and off-white and black, each iteration features an all-over pattern on the canvas uppers, while branding can be found on by the vamp stitching, the red and white rubber heel plate and the co-branded insoles. The models rest on white midsoles and waffle outsoles, while white laces tie the shoes together for a clean finish.

Check out the collab above. The WACKO MARIA x Vans Authentic 44 “Leopard” iterations are available starting December 2 via WACKO MARIA’s webstore, with a retail price of ¥11,000 JPY (approximately $75 USD) each.
