Cartoon Christmas Sneakers

Vans' 'Classic Slip-On' Was Updated with a Festive Charlie Brown Theme

Now that Christmas is just around the corner, brands have been stocking holiday-themed products to appeal to the many consumers who are looking to spice up their wardrobes with some festive additions, with Vans being one brand to do so recently with its Peanuts 'Classic Slip-On.'

The popular silhouette functions as the perfect canvas for the cartoon artwork that decorates the uppers, with a navy night sky taking over the majority, while Charlie Brown and Snoopy stand with the iconic dog house and Christmas tree on the toes of the uppers.

In addition, the sneakers feature elasticized openings that allow the material to move with its wearer more fluidly, while providing them with long-lasting comfort.
