Japan born painter, illustrator and graphics designer Taka Hayashi brought his innate vision of the Native Americans in Van’s Spring 2010 Collection. Taka infuses two factors in his latest creations; he commingles the 1960’s Italian-made footwear with the designs known to the aboriginal American civilization. For this years Spring collection, Taka introduced two new additions to the vans vault series, namely the Vans Vault Prison Issue Lace LX and Priz Hi Lace LX. Both of the shoes come in rustic and earthy shades which Taka complimented with vibrant ankle straps that remind you of the most renowned Native Americans such as Pocahontas, Sacajawea, Geronimo, Blackhawk and Sequoia.
