In celebration of the Chinese New Year, Vans and SANKUANZ joined forces to create a series of fresh sneaker designs, as well as some athleisure apparel to go along with them.
Specifically, the pair pay tribute to the year of the Dog with the designs, with graphics of animal teeth and the slogan "REBEL TEETH | DO NOT PET ME I AM AGGRESSIVE" included on a number of the pieces. To keep to a minimalist aesthetic, Vans and SANKUANZ use three hues for the whole collection: black, white and red.
As HYPEBEAST reports, the collection revamps the "Era, Classic Slip-On and Style 36 models," and will be available from a number of participating retailers starting January 12th.
