Queens, New York graffiti artist turned fashion designer Claw Money was the mastermind behind the very first womens Hyperstrike Tier 0 release earlier this year with the release of the Claw Money x Nike Blazer. A follow-up to the Blazer has come in the form of Claw Money’s personal high top of choice, the Vandal Hi. She first fell in love with the Vandal Hi over ten years ago and has been a collector ever since.
Her Vandal Hi features a purposely deconstructed upper due to the removal of the foam within the upper. The desired effect was to create a slouchy silhouette free to take on any shape it desired. The reflective peacock feathers were a “couture” touch to draw attention much like the birds they were inspired by. The package is completed with the use of old school fatty laces.
