Taka Hayashi x VANS Vault – Prison Issue Lace LX
The Californian Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation asked Vans to create a shoe for its ever-growing prison population. The outcome, titled 'Prison Issue', became a distant cousin to their original skate shoe, with a few minor tweaks of course (like Velcro straps instead of laces). Recently, Japanese designer Taka Hayashi composed a luxurious suede and leather version of the Prison Issue, dubbed the Lace LX, for VANS Vault line. Inspired by Native American style, the Taka Hayashi x VANS Vault Prison Issue Lace LX is currently available at select VANS Vault dealers.
