The Ace Hotel aims to provide a compassionate and inclusive hotel experience with the idea of cultivating creative minds and creating the best experience possible for the average person staying at one of their establishments across the country. These ideals have taken shape in the form of a few sneaker collaborations with both Converse and Vans. Ace Hotel is back partnering with Vans once again on the iconic vans takashi murakami collaboration anime vf corp model that has become a mainstay in today’s sneaker culture. The focal point of this design is the phrase “the world is as you are” emblazoned on the midsole in script that perfectly embodies the Ace Hotel’s mission statement. This otherwise simplistic design features a mixture of olive and black suede on the upper, a solid white heel tab, and Ace Hotel branding on the insole. It is finished off by a special edition box that reads “THESE ARE FOR YOU” and is adorned in a matching olive hue. The pair is available in a limited quantity and can only be purchased from Ace Hotel’s official online shop for $95 USD.
