The collaboration between END., Mastermind Japan, and Vans has resulted in the stylish and innovative Mastermind Japan x Vans Sk8-Hi ‘White’. This version of the classic skate shoe showcases a contemporary reconstruction, combining various materials such as leather, canvas, and suede, all in a monochrome off-white color scheme. The unconventional design includes unique elements such as a zip closure on the lateral side, an elongated eyestay, and a leather stripe with exposed zigzag stitching. On the medial side, there is a perforated stripe and the signature skull and crossbones graphic, which are characteristic of Mastermind Japan. The high-top silhouette is complemented by a deconstructed midsole that features exaggerated proportions and intentionally misaligned details. Adding a touch of visual interest, the iconic Vans checkerboard print adorns the translucent rubber outsole. With its cutting-edge design and attention to detail, the Mastermind Japan x Vans Sk8-Hi ‘White’ is a true standout in the world of footwear.
