Vans x SBTG Collection
Founded by Singaporean artist Mark Ong (aka Mr. Sabotage) in 2003, SBTG merges punk rock, skateboarding, Americana, and military themes to create a distinctive style. This year, the Vans Asian Artist Collection showcases three influential artists who have left a significant mark on their art scenes, celebrating skateboarding-inspired street culture in Asia. .
The design of this collaborative Old Skool features SBTG's signature phalange toe element, with leather styled like phalanges sewn onto the toe. The shoes come in varying shades of brown, with the left and right feet complementing each other. Beyond the phalange detail, SBTG has also printed the product information on the shoe's edge, enhancing its military-inspired aesthetic.
