Words via Hypebeast:
“Japanese outfit UNIVERSAL PRODUCTS is the latest to team up with Vans on a pair of collaborative footwear, joining the California-based icon for a special rendition of the tried-and-true Authentic. Built on the premise of “extraordinary in everyday,” the co-branded design takes the humble silhouette and dresses it in white, allowing the materials to do the talking by combining a premium harako leather base with faux pony hair throughout.
Accompanied by a tote and custom packaging, the UNIVERSAL PRODUCTS x Vans Authentic is available online now for ¥20,000 JPY (approximately $177 USD) while supplies last.”
