2009 - SNEAKER FREAKER TOP 25 SNEAKERS!
VANS TAKA HAYASHI
Vans had a year to remember with so many highlights... Parra, DQM, Supreme, Bad Brains, Kiss, Slayer, Malcolm Maclaren, Robert Williams, Crumb and a score of others produced niceness for the Cali cartel. However it was the handiwork of Japanese/American Taka Hayashi who really caught the eye of aficionados. Adopting American Indian style decoration is hardly a new thing, but Hayashi delivered a fresh tweak to some old classics, producing the Akat, Velocita and No Quarter models.
