This collection of stacked Vans are a response to a growing movement in the casual footwear industry, where skateboarding shoes are beginning to borrow design elements from chunky silhouettes.
For its contribution to the category, beloved contemporary brand Vans reinvents two of its most popular models — the Era and the Sk8-Hi. The label chooses to be extremely playful and experimental with its new offerings. The stacked Vans boast a translucent foxing tape that adds an interesting juxtaposition of colorways and textures. Moreover, the choice to create ultra-chromatic uppers also contributes to the whimsicality of the footwear, assuring it stands out and infuses character to the everyday outfit. Moreover, the stacked Vans also feature "an oversized confetti bumper" that effortlessly captivates attention.
