Active continues their “Drop Sneakers Not Bombs” initiative and has finally released the Active x Taka Hayashi x Vans Pack. Consisting of the Half Cab Pro and the J-Lay Mid, the artist made a lot of changes to the classics, adding premium materials, embroideries, as well as other details. The outcome is a strong pack, that plays with everything but the colors, something we appreciate a lot.

The Active x Taka Hayashi x Vans Pack is now on sale at Active stores and online.

Detailed images follow after the jump.

Japanese artist Taka Hayashi did not only work on his own collaborative pack with Vans, but this time got together with Vans and Active for their “Drop Sneakers Not Bombs” initiative. Releasing in November is a pack of two sneakers designed by the artist. Once again lots of customization has been added to the sneaker, without playing too much with color, rather with patterns and materials.

Via Vapors Issue 50.

Active Mailorder out of California has gotten together with Vans to collaborate on the Half Cab model. The outcome is definitely impressive, as they have added a lot of details to the classic. Rather than being noticed for a crazy choice of color, Active kept it all black, added embroideries, embossed graphics, and took some minor inspiration on the lacing from hiking boots. Via CtotheJL/Vapors.

There is no official release date set so far, but we’ll keep you posted.
