Vans introduces a six-piece capsule that reimagines the Authentic and Old Skool models in updates perfect for holiday styling. Focusing the design elements on the sidewall, Vans designers took on traditional vulcanization to include embossed ridges and studs for an edgy new take on heritage icons.
Vans first shoe, the Authentic, takes on new heights as the Authentic Platform 2.0. The raised sidewall in tonal black features ridging details reminscent of a traditional creeper silhouette and is finished with d-ring lacing. The Authentic Platform 2.0 is available in two all-over suede executions including a black to the floor and red/black colorway. The final colorway features a blend of black suede and leopard printed canvas. The companion to the offering comes from the Old Skool, which delivers an ode to punk styling with tonal embossed studs on the sidewall. The Old Skool is available in three executions including blanc de blanc, chili pepper and all black made up in patent leather with a tonal matte leather Sidestripe.
The Embossed Sidewall Pack retails for $65 – $75 USD and will be available to shop in Vans retail stores and online at Vans.com/Classics now. Click on pic above!
