The accessories are a keeper! Japanese artist Taka Hayashi brings a fresh breeze to the Volt by Vans gala.

Taka Hayashi is a multi-talented painter, illustrator, and graphic designer. He has teamed up with "Vault by Vans," a brand he has worked with many times in the past, to create a new collaboration shoe.

The two models to be released are shown here. Based on the standard "Era," the upper is composed of suede and canvas. The color blocking of the same color is used to create a retro atmosphere.

The most distinctive feature of the new model is the ankle guard, which was developed by Vans in the 1970s to protect the ankle in the event of a failed trick.

Taka Hayashi has updated the ankle guard with a new zipper so that it can be used as a pouch. It looks just right for skaters as well as bicyclists. Of course, you can also use it as an accessory for a fresh pair of "Era" shoes.

The product is now available online and at select Billy's stores.
