Taka Hayashi 2...

The much anticipated second collaboration with Vans & artist/skater Taka Hayashi, has finally been released. The Vans x Taka Hayashi Pack 2, consists of a Vans No Skool Mid Vulc, Vans Ownes Hi Vulc and Vans Rowley Shambles Hi. I haven't been this impressed with a pack in a minute.... The amount of details on each sneaker is mind-blowing, astonishing, & simply breathtaking. NO I AM NOT GOING OVERBOARD ON THIS.... Premium materials have been used, including leathers, pony hair, along with a vast amount of embroidery, printed graphics and tags. To top things off, the Vans logo on each shoe's heel has been replaced by a signature "Destroy" logo.

The good thing is...even though the sneakers are loaded with details, the choice of color was kept minimal (black & Brown) giving the pack an overall simple look. The bad thing is...expect premium prices on this pack, with prices ranging from $119 - $139 each. If you can afford it...don't miss out on this stunning Vans release.

Only the 1st pair reel me in... it's the cleanest w/ the most detail.

I peeped them like two days ago and did one of my famous nods. Like "Keness likes it."

The first two are dope as hell. But the pricetag is a killa.
