Vans x Disney teamed up to create a collection of footwear, apparel and accessories for adults, kids and toddlers that brings awareness to Global Tiger Day. Benefitting Project CAT, the tiger-inspired collaboration features photoreal prints of tigers and text that reads "Protect Tigers."
One of the most popular styles from the Vans x Disney collab is bound to be the orange slip-on style, exclusively for kids, that has a soft-texture upper, ears and tiger faces on both feet. Perfect for back-to-school season, the collab also includes colorful t-shirts and backpacks.
Project CAT is on a mission to conserve millions of acres of protected land across three countries to support future generations of jungle cats. With this collab, Vans and Discovery are donating $20,000 to support the worthy cause.
