There’s been a lot of talk lately about Vans’ refreshed popularity in the limited sneaker space and the copycat concepts that have followed. A classic story of skaters starting a trend and then watching the whole world pick up on it, the latest Vans collab collection keeps the new energy coming, adding a three-pair pack from Jun Takahashi’s UNDERCOVER.

Vans Continues Its Collab Streak

The new UNDERCOVER x Vans collection features two pairs of Sk8-Hi with thin line checkerboard details on the heel paneling and a Slip-On in black with ornate fiery graphics on the toebox. Starting with the Slip-On, the colorway brings a standard black canvas upper and white midsole, but covers the top of the shoes in decorative gothic graphics covered in roses, grapes, a staircase to nowhere, and of course, fire burning it all.

On the Sk8-Hi pairs, Takahashi crafts one in white and one in black, both with the same grid design on the back half. The black pair is murdered out minus the checks on the heel and an UNDERCOVER logo on the midsole. The white pair follows suit, but adds a black foxing stripe at the top of the midsole for more two-tone contrast.
