Jet-setting to Hawaii could be a pain in the balls, so lucky for you the highly-hyped etnies Sal23 x In4mation just went live on the etnies site.

Buy This Now: Vans x Taka Hayashi DSNB Sneakers

Last year, Active Ride Shop, the leader in skate e-stores, developed Drop Sneakers Not Bombs—an exclusive footwear collaboration collection where a portion of proceeds went to non-profit organizations that aimed to help children suffering through a violent civil war in Uganda.

After the success of the campaign in 2007, this year Active tapped acclaimed painter/illustrator/graphic designer Taka Hayashi to lend his design prowess to two different Vans models to be part of the DSNB campaign. The result? Hayashi went hard by hooking up this J-Lay Mid with pony hair, baseball glove leather and his artwork on the inner lining. In addition to the J-Lay, check below for the more subtle Half Cab Pro Shoe Taka did for the collection. Both sneakers are available HERE for $124.
