The New York Yankees are the biggest and most celebrated franchise in the entire sports universe. So I'm a little surprised that the Vans Vault MLB New York Yankees set wasn't the first set honoring a baseball team that Vans chose to release for their Vault MLB series.
No pro team's logo is more well represented in cities around the globe than the Yankees' NY logo. These pinstriped Vans with matching jersey will only increase that love.
I expected to see tons of these Bronx Bombers-inspired kicks accompanying the fitted Yankees ball caps that have become a staple in the wardrobes of skaters, hip hop heads and cab drivers worldwide.
