The newly released fire sneakers by Vans are an eye-catcher. The silhouette features a tonal canvas upper, with black soles, suede detailing and the footwear company's "signature Jazz stripe." The shoe's dark monochromatic appearance is the perfect canvas for the added and detailed flame on the side of the sole, "which makes it look like the wearer is shooting off at break-neck speeds."

From Sk8 Hi-tops with roses and checkered patterns to cosmic designs and nostalgic Toy Story-inspired footwear, the newly updated Vans Old Skool fire sneakers are a wonderfully stylish addition to this ever-growing line-up of fun and collectible footwear.
