FACETASM x Vans Butterfly Inspired Kicks
If you look at these new collaboration kicks by Vans and FACETASM from a far you’d think they were just white kicks with a wild black pattern on it. But if you look closer you’ll see that the pattern is actually a bunch of butterfly’s.. nice! Designer Hiromichi Ochiai applied a monochromatic butterfly-inspired pattern to Vans iconic Authentic and Slip-On silhouettes. Both silhouettes retain the canvas uppers and vulcanized midsoles their known for. We’re diggin them!
Be on the look out for these kicks when they drop in the near future.
The creative team at Nike released a fresh set of Air Force 1 kicks in a “Phantom Snakeskin” colorway. The sneakers feature a light tan snakeskin texture made from premium leather on the upper. There’s some black spatter paint accents across the upper as well. A big bronze patch is featured on the tongue, and to complete the look, a rose gold metallic accents on the deubré and lace tips. These joints are dope!!
You can get you feet in a pair of The Nike Air Force 1 “Phantom Snakeskin” at select Nike UK locations for £90 GBP (approx $110 USD). Hopefully we’ll see these land in stores in the U.S. this summer!
