Inspired by mythological tales and the legends of Rio Tavares, the Vans x Vi Kakinho collection reimagines the iconic Old Skool silhouette as a canvas of meaning and storytelling. The sneaker features bold red and gold accents, the skater’s initials embroidered on the heel, and custom insoles illustrated with playful scenes that trace Vi Kakinho’s journey to going pro. Rounding out the collection are two tees and a pair of socks, blending style and personality into every detail.
