The ongoing partnership between Vans and (W)Taps has resulted in a number of classic sneakers getting a biker, rockabilly, and tattoo infusion. In 2010, however, the Japanese label and the California shoe company are embarking on a more complete, fully conceived line, under the title “V&W.” The first installation from the partnership includes a shirt, jacket, hat, and pants; the shirt and jacket feature V&W stenciling, the hat echoes slightly a train conductor silhouette, and the pants are strongly workwear inspired, in a Dickies-type cut, with a cinch back. From this first drop, it looks like the V&W collection will truly capitalize on Neighborhood’s strengths in apparel design and style. Via Honeyee.
