Mastermind Japan And Vans Rework The Old Skool Silhouette

After teaming up for a Mountain Edition sneaker late last year, Mastermind Japan and Vans have reunited for the Old Skool V36 OG.

The trim silhouette is nearly identical to an ordinary pair of Old Skools at first glance, with a monochrome colourway, white Jazz Stripe and matching laces, however, special detailing comes in the form of a black MMJ-branded midsole, which travels around to the rear of the shoes, continuing beneath a black Vans license plate tag. A suede panel at the back sports an embroidered mastermind skull logo, tying in with the tonal suede toebox.

Releasing on August 29th at select retailers, let us know what you think of the Mastermind Japan x Vans Old Skool V36 OG down in the comments section below. In related news, the Vans Sk8-Hi gets a bold katakana makeover.
