Vans introduce a limited-edition of the Authentic sneaker model to celebrate the late Mac Miller, who passed about five years ago now. The rapper suddenly passed about three weeks after the release of the Swimming album, which was produced by Miller.
To celebrate Mac Miller and Swimming, the brand updates a new iteration of the Authentic sneaker model, detailing the shoe with a black base foundation and a white yin-and-yang symbol on top. This is an emblem that is connected to the musician. The shoes were unveiled online on Vans' Instagram story yesterday, which was also seen resting on top of a vulcanized rubber midsole base foundation. It reads "Mac Miller 1992 ‘Til" next to an infinity symbol.
