Vans x Tokyo Design Collective's new collection will be released soon. The designs are by two of the scene's leading designers.

TOKYO DESIGN COLLECTIVE is a design team from Tokyo, Japan, that identifies and communicates new possibilities by fusing iconic Japanese design and craftsmanship.

The collaboration collection with Vans that was released last January is still fresh in our minds, and now the two have teamed up once again to create the "TOKYO CRUISE" collection. The "TOKYO CRUISE" collection .

Redefining urban utility fashion with partners Tadayuki Kato and Shinsuke Nakata, longtime leaders of the Japanese street fashion scene, the new collection will drop two footwear styles inspired by running shoes.

. The first thing to note is the design aspect. With mesh uppers and reflective patches appropriate for each model, the vintage-like design reminiscent of 90's skate style has been updated in a modern way, which is impressive.

. And comfort is an indispensable factor in choosing footwear. With the recently launched "Vans Premium" build and the latest "Vans Sola Foam Adc" insole, which is a highly resilient polyurethane foam, you can expect a lot of comfort.

Furthermore, the apparel lineup is also rich in variation. All of them are filled with attention to detail and full of humor.

This "CRUISE JACKET" is a gem that will make you grin at its playful design, complete with a beer can pocket on the inside.

By using CORDURA® as the material, the sturdiness and toughness required in the skate scene are realized.

The V-shaped ventilation on the back and the key holder pocket on the chest are also noteworthy, thoughtful details that support comfortable riding.

The hoodie is 15.3 ounces, which is the heaviest of all the hoodies. It is equipped with Coolmax technology to keep the wearer dry and comfortable at all times, making it ideal not only for skating, but also for everyday use and sports activities.

Various cultures and styles of the 90's were mixed together and transmitted to create Tokyo street style, which became a worldwide trend. We, who have been influenced by that era, have designed this collection by blending the core elements of Vans, skate style and fashion, to find a shape that fits the sense of those days and the ever-evolving current era. It's a lineup that will make you feel good as you cruise around Tokyo, so we hope to see you there."
