Vans and Cocona Hiraki Return With the Whimsical Premium Old Skool in “Black”
Much like its predecessor, this new colorway acts as a canvas for Hiraki’s DIY-inspired creativity and off-board personality, translating her youthful energy into a tactile, premium design. Trading the original’s soft, neutral tones for a monochromatic black corduroy upper, the sneaker is brought to life by a series of playful embellishments. Key details include beaded safety pins, white all-over blanket stitching, embroidered doodles, and a woven friendship bracelet draped across the heel.
