Kenzo creative director Felipe Oliveira Baptista designed 46 other similarly decorated pieces that complement the kicks, including jersey items made with 100 percent organic cotton, bob hats, baseball caps, backpacks, wallets and iPhone X and bags.

The collection debuted in a new campaign lensed veteran subculture photographer Ari Marcopoulos, who shot seven real skaters outfitted in various Kenzo x Vans attire against a Los Angeles backdrop.

Debuting alongside the capsule is a limited-edition Kenzo skateboard. All profits from purchases of just 150 decks will
be donated to a social skate project that works to empower at-risk youth in Jamaica.
