Tadayuki Kato and Shinsuke Nakada‘s Vans’ sublabel – VANS TOKYO DESIGN COLLECTIVE – has unleashed its third official capsule. Complete with footwear and apparel, the designers rework the skatewear imprint’s signature slip-on silhouette (the Vans Slip-On 98) as well as serve up a slew of sleek apparel imagined through the lens of 1990s Harajuku culture and the ever-evolving London punk scene.
On the footwear front, Kato and Nakada reimagine the classic Slip-On in two new hues. One iteration is a gray plaid-patterned colorway, with black dotted accents, while the second option is a black shade, elevated with white dotting detailed.
As for apparel, the designers deliver some insulating yet lightweight pieces perfect for the dropping temperatures, featuring a puffer coach jacket – fully reversible in structure – and a set of half-zip sweatshirts. Shades remain rather neutral, spanning navy, gray and black.
Peep the sneakers and the apparel in the gallery above, and expect the full third VANS TOKYO DESIGN COLLECTIVE capsule to be released for purchase at the VANS TOKYO DESIGN COLLECTIVE official webstore on Saturday, September 21.
