Truth be told, I wasn’t exactly excited when Kenzo released their F/W12 lineup with Vans. Yes, it wasn’t bad (it features 2 different designs, kimono florals and stripes in 6 different colours), but somehow it didn’t speak to me. Which frankly meant the end of my obsession with the shoes, till these babies came along.
Also part of the F/W12 line-up, the Kenzo + Vans ‘Grape’ Shoe collection is also now the 3rd design in the collection and features, yes you guessed it, grapes, vines and all on the shoes.
Available in two colours (Black and White), each unisex pair should retail for USD125 a pop. The thing is, I haven’t come across the pre-order link anywhere on Opening Ceremony, which is also where you’ll find the other designs now available. Just have to wait a little more, I guess…

I don’t mind the stripe versions. Will they be available in SG BB?
I went to Kenzo at Takashimaya to enquire. Both the young/old sales personals there were clueless about this.
“Oh we don’t know!”
Fret not. The shoes are coming to SG after all, and they will retail for SGD260 here. Will do another update when they are actually here, so keep a lookout for an update.
very very cool collab! love the white ones!

These are much better! Didn’t care for the florals or the lines. (FB)
