BEDWIN & THE HEARTBREAKERS and VAULT by VANS will launch their second collaboration collection on Friday, November 17th.

This collaboration product was created based on AUTHENTIC, which BEDWIN & THE HEARTBREAKERS director Masashi Watanabe has loved since his teens, and KNU SKOOL, which is a new approach. This collection was inspired by the VANS sneakers that Watanabe himself customized using bandanas that he wore at the time.

Following on from the 2021 collaboration collection, this collection also features the signature bandana graphic. The use of traditional textiles and cutting the different seams of the bandana elevates the level of detail and craftsmanship, resulting in a one-of-a-kind pattern design.

The VANS KNU SKOOL VLT LX comes in a classic black/white colorway, while the VANS OG AUTHENTIC LX comes in two colors: black/true white and gray/true white.

BEDWIN & THE HEARTBREAKERS love the West Coast culture, where various races form communities and disseminate their own unique culture. Each of the colors and patterns that breathe there has its own unique expression. We have incorporated these various aspects into one pair of sneakers. Inspired by the way that things change over the years, we have incorporated a crazy patterned monotone bandana pattern. These sneakers will develop a rich expression with years of wear, and will change uniquely depending on the lifestyle of the wearer.

Ahead of the launch, the items will be available for pre-sale from 12:00 on Thursday, November 16th at the BEDWIN & THE HEARTBREAKERS online store and at DAYZ in Shibuya. Don't miss out on this chance to be among the first to get your hands on the items.
