Iconic skater-inspired sneaker brand Vans recently took an elevated approach to the brand’s time-honored footwear silhouettes with the introduction of the new Stacked Pack collection. The series includes four of Vans’ Classic styles that were reinterpreted to include a raised platform alongside an oversized rendition of Vans’ iconic Checkerboard pattern.
The range includes the Era Stacked with the brand's iconic silhouetted enhanced with an exaggerated platform; the Vans Classic Slip-On with a four-piece offering and a reimaged heritage print paired with a two-inch platform outsole; and the Sk8-Hi and Old Skool with an overstated outsole, suede uppers, and full-grain leather Sidestripe.
