Porter x Vans. Here is a collaborative collection that blends the identities of both.

Yoshida Kaban" celebrated its 85th anniversary last March. Yoshida Kaban is a world-class bag brand, but their craftsmanship, which has always been made in Japan, does not stop there. They even produce items in different genres based on the technology they have cultivated over their long history.

One example is the collaboration between "Porter" and "Vans" introduced here. The two companies' identities are well blended into the items.

From left, SK8-HI REISSUE VLT LX ¥14,000+TAX, OLD SKOOL VLT LX ¥13,000+TAX each,
CLASSIC SLIP-ON VLT LX ¥12,000+TAX

Let's start with sneakers. SK8-HI" by the premium line "Vans Vault
Three models of "OLD SKOOL" and "SLIP-ON" were adopted as the base.

The canvas and suede body is covered with the iconic checkered flag pattern and floral pattern in the same color. The left and right sides are printed with different patterns for a playful finish.

There are two types of checkered shoelaces: orange and monochrome. It is a nice point to be able to enjoy different looks depending on your mood.

The bright orange and Porter logo patch on the inside of the shoe is a design feature unique to the collaborative model.

Exclusive SK8-HI ¥14,000+TAX

Exclusive SLIP-ON ¥12,000+TAX

In addition, these limited edition SK8-HI and SLIP-ON models will be sold only at the "PORTER flag ship store," "PORTER EXCHANGE" and Yoshida Kaban's official online store.

The most distinctive feature is the inside-out design, in which the parts on the front and back sides are reversed. Frayed fabrics and stitching, which are normally invisible to the eye, are exposed, creating a fresh look that makes it hard to believe that this is the same model.

The bi-colors of orange and black are also a good color scheme, and even if you are not a fan of both, you may want to reach for this product.

3-way briefcase ¥47,000+TAX

The briefcase that follows is a 3-way briefcase that can be carried on the shoulder, on the back, or hand-held. The body is made of printed nylon bonding fabric, and the four patterns that "Vans" has long used on its sneakers are arranged on each part.

With an internal pocket for a 13-inch laptop or tablet device, this item combines design and functionality.

Wallet ¥15,000+TAX, Luggage tag ¥10,000+TAX

The wallet and luggage tag are compact and easy to use. The entire body is covered with a checkered flag pattern.

It would be good to add an accent to a simple coordinate by inserting accessories with a bold design such as this. We recommend this product not only for yourself, but also as a gift.

Porter and Vans. The combination may seem unexpected at first glance, but there is no doubt that the items are a perfect match. Sales will start on February 20 (Sat.) in limited quantities, so don't miss out.
