The Vans Sk8-Hi Gets a Bold Katakana Makeover

Updated 11 May 20 2:15PM•Adam Cheung

Damn Daniel. After teaming up with the The Vincent Van Gogh Museum for an artistic collab, Vans has now given its classic Sk8-Hi model an eye-catching 'Japanese Type' makeover in two colourways.

The signature high-top features black suede paneling, the famous Vans Checkerboard print at the quarter and a leather branding stripe. “Vans” in Japanese Katakana is seen embroidered at the ankle and printed along the midsole for a bold graphic effect.

Both colourways of the Vans Sk8-Hi 'Japanese Type' are available now for €95 a pop. Let us know what you think of the sneaker down in the comments section below! In related news, Vans and Disney recently came together to commemorate Mickey Mouse.
