The Vans Vault Spring 2013 footwear collection stars the 'TH Reverie Hi LX' sneakers.
This shoe marks Van's reunion with contemporary designer Taka Hayashi. Hayashi previously worked on several series with the skate company and released the 'Half Cab Pro', the 'Sierra Trek Hi LX II' and the 'Sierra Dune LX.' The footwear has been successful and thus, Hayashi has returned. The stylish and wildy patterned sneakers feature a palm leaf-laden print in navy. The base of these wicked shoes is a mixture of neutrals from grey to white. The sick kicks feature a camel leather strip, an over-sized tongue, light grey suede detailing and white squiggly cut outs sewn on the side panels.
The Vans Vault Spring 2013 footwear collection featuring Taka Hayashi's designs is stellar and thinks outside the box.
