Vault by Vans and Mastermind World have reunited for a new collection.
The California skate brand and luxury menswear label’s new line includes a five-piece capsule comprised of iconic silhouettes. The collection features Vans’ iconic checkerboard and Mastermind World’s signature skulls in black and white motif.
The new line is inspired by designer Masaaki Homma’s love for punk culture. Founded in Japan in 1997, Mastermind World is a mix of sport, street and elegance, distinguished by cutting-edge luxury fabrics.
