The Vans Chicago White Sox Shoe is a Die-Hard Fan Must-Have

— March 27, 2010 — Fashion
Recently I wrote an article profiling the Vans Red Sox shoe thinking it was a special pair-up, but after coming across the Vans Chicago White Sox Shoe, I'm thinking maybe the company is going to create a model for every team. If this is the case, I am going to be ecstatic.

Bringing two of my passions together--quality skate shoes and pro baseball--for one heavenly product puts me over the moon. Like the Red Sox Version, the Vans Chicago White Sox Shoe comes with a corresponding branded jersey. I'm just praying they come out with a Blue Jays edition. I will fight tooth and nail for a pair.
