Vans held an event in NYC this week to celebrate the launch of the collaboration sneaker with Victoria’s Secret Supermodel Marisa Miller. Skate companies collaborate with artist and skaters not models, this is unique but far too commercial. She looks huff and fake, not a skate chic at all. I hope this mash-up doesn't hit at Vans street authenticity. On a happier note, Vans thanked its NYC connects by gifting these skateboards designed by Taka Hayashi to those in attendance. Check the graphic from the Authentic LXs that Taka designed in May. teleport for pics of the kicks and a close up of the deck.
