Vans Vault launches its latest Pony pack for the Spring/Summer 2019 season, spotlighting fuzzy pony hair adorning classic sneaker silhouettes. The two main footwear models in the latest offering highlight the Slip-On and the Sk8-Hi, both of which are decorated in mismatching animal prints.
There are also checkerboard prints and some suede materials to contrast in a textile manner. The luxe range follows a color palette that predominantly showcases black and brown, as the Sk80Hi model has a solid pony hair checkerboard patch with suede over the toe box and even some leather at the eyestay. The brown version is done up in brown fuzzy hair checkerboard patterns with cheetah prints over the toe box and tongue and cow prints over the Jazz stripe.
