New Arrival: VANS X YUSUKE HANAI February 14 2016

"The Authentic SF" Yusuke Hanai Classic White 

"My name is Yusuke Hanai. Illustrator from Japan. I started surfing when I was in high school. I surfed at my local reef break. And I will keep surfing from that point on for the rest of my life."

Much to his conservative parent's chagrin, Yusuke Hanai followed his dream of becoming an artist by saving up money bartending before attending art school in San Francisco. He continued to surf while in SF and was influenced by the people and counter culture there. His art is now known worldwide and it all came from continuing to pursue his passions.

"I liked doodling ever since I was a kid...I like people, especially weird people. Weird people are interesting and such great characters. And there are so many of those types of people in surfing. Of course I love surfing so sometimes I like to draw surfers."

"Mens Hanelei" flip flop 

The Authentic SF canvas shoe and the Mens Hanelei flip flop are the result of the collaboration between Vans and Hanai. They showcase the Japanese artist’'s modern mid-century details and illustration while maintaining the classic Vans form. Fun fact: the left and right foot on both the shoes and flip flops feature different illustrations.

You can now find both styles in our brick and mortar store. Click on any photo above to view/purchase in our online store.

"Think about what people want you to do. Think about what you can do to make people happy. Then find out what you want to do."  -Yusuke Hanai
