While I'm partial to the "hard-luck" Hanshin Tigers, these sneakers - a collaboration between the Hiroshima Toyo Carp and Vans - are super adorable. A Japanese (but not really anime) style caricature of a Carp team member is depicted on Vans' ubiquitous Splip-On silhouette. I can't remember the last time Vans collaborated with a sports team, but they've recently been going all out with collabs: Murakami, Nintendo, the ASPCA, and even Toy Story, so I can't wait to see what else they have in store. These ones will be up for grabs this Friday, though they are exclusive to a Hiroshima brick-and-mortar store.
