What can we find in the Vans and One Piece collection?
Without a doubt, the absolute protagonist of the collection in the classic Sk8-Hi Punk Hazard shoe from Vans. This model has a 360º print that surrounds the entire sneaker, traveling from the fire side of the island to the frozen side. Throughout the collection that worships the Straw Hat Pirates, we also see the legendary Vans checkerboard.
Another of the icons of the Vans and One Piece collection is the sneaker Vans Old Skool. This model represents the devil fruits with superhuman powers. Many of the anime protagonists consume them, but they have a contraindication. And it prevents them from swimming. Something that for a pirate, always surrounded by water, is important.
Another model that should be highlighted are the sports Vans Classic Authentic. With a more nautical style, this shoe stands out for its embroidery with motifs representative of One Piece and the Straw Hat pirates.
