Vans Japan

Friday May 30, 2008
Vans is a bonafide sneaker peddler and leader. What began as a custom sneaker company in Anaheim, California has turned into one of the world's most widely recognized skateboarding sneaker brands. Often, Vans will release special sneaker designs and colorways for specific markets around the world. Japan is the lucky market for Vans latest sneaker release.

Vans new Fair Hi and Lo Skool sneakers come in two simple but cool colorways - blue or yellow. The sneakers are constructed of canvas with a rubber sole. The side of the sneaker features Vans trademark logo in white.

These Vans sneakers were designed specifically for Japanese retailer ABC Mart to be sold exclusively through their stores. The shoes will go for about 5449 Yen -- roughly $52.
