In time for summer, Concepts and Vans launched a series of sneakers with tropical patterns that add a seasonal vibe to any ensemble.
The sneakers come in a variety of different colorways, with a bright orange version of Vans' 'Old Skool' silhouette available, in addition to ones that are a deep hue of green, and more subtle cream ones. All of the colorways feature vintage-style prints that are inspired by those used in Jamaica. These bright prints play off of the colors used on the canvas uppers perfectly, making for a cohesive look that's easy to wear.
The Concepts and Vans sneakers are available in-store and online, and all of the colorways available in limited quantities.
