\"LiberaidersLiberaiders x Vans Collection<\/p>\n

Vans<\/a> is on a hot streak, and the brand isn\u2019t letting up. Amidst a serious run of in-house OTW colorways paying tribute to the luxury lifestyle, a constant dedication to the skate program, and plenty of collabs, the SoCal skate shoe brand is going international, once again teaming up with a Japanese label<\/a> for new takes on tried-and-true classics.<\/p>\n

SoCal to Tokyo<\/p>\n

The Liberaiders<\/a> x Vans Collection is the latest from an ongoing partnership between Vans and Tokyo-based clothing label Liberaiders as part of the company\u2019s new Destination Unknown collection. Taking on a pair of Old Skools and a pair of Slip-Ons, both pairs weave Liberaiders<\/a> co-branding and Destination Unknown labels throughout.<\/p>\n

On the Slip-On, a black ripstop toecap is covered in all-over print white Liberaiders logos before evolving to hairy blue suede on the back half of the silhouette. An icy blue outsole reads \u2018Destination Unknown\u2019 to match the label on the white midsole, with \u2018What We Do Is Secret Liberaiders\u2019 embroidered on the heel. The Old Skool keeps things simple in black-on-black with a gum midsole featuring the same Destination Unknown branding and a Liberaiders logo on the vamp.<\/p>\n
