These are cross bones that are representative of WTAPS
but if you look into the past you find a few different patterns for the shape
and in the methods of expression
there are prints done with silk screen
and also embroidered versions chosen for the VANS SYNDICATE sneakers.
Other than those, there are also the stickers which were available
at the PHILOSOPHY-STORE.

This season, the design has been updated
using a stencil template and painting.
They are all applied one by one by hand so the thickness may vary
and some may be a little worn or smudged;
the finish gives it character as they are all unique.
It may be cool to add more character by applying your favorite motif
with a stencil and not only paint but maybe even spray.
