In a thrilling fusion of Japanese craftsmanship and urban flair, Vans proudly introduces the Tokyo Design Collective's (TDC) latest masterpiece: the “BLOCK BY BLOCK” capsule. Vans' Tokyo Design Collective brings you a collection that's not just eye-catching but practically a fashion compass pointing towards the epicenter of style.

Japan street style in a sneaker

The “BLOCK BY BLOCK” capsule isn’t just about looking good; it's about feeling fantastic too. These shoes are the lovechild of meticulous attention to detail and a design process that's nothing short of a work of art. Crafted with a mix of oiled and nubuck leather, these kicks are like the Yohji Yamomoto of street fashion, and that's just the beginning.

High quality craftsmanship

The Sk8-Mid Reissue 83 Mg, the crown jewel of the Spring '24 season, takes center stage. The pair is definitely a statement piece with its enhanced durability and a sophisticated look. Cordura® herringbone is used on the kicks, offering durability that can handle anything the urban jungle throws your way. Classic elements from the original Sk8-Mid are harmoniously blended with modern comfort features, promising versatility that suits various styles and occasions – because fashion shouldn't be confined, it should be free.

Give me the details

Set your calendars for January 26, as the “BLOCK BY BLOCK” capsule will make its grand entrance into the world. Priced at a cool P7,498, these kicks will be strutting their stuff at select Vans retail stores, including Vans SM Megamall, Vans Glorietta, and Atmos. Follow #VansPhTokyoDesignCollective to stay in the loop and make sure you don’t miss the chance to turn your sidewalk stroll into a fashion show.
