Creamy Rapper-Designed Sneakers

These New Golf Wang Vans Feature Playful Cartoon-Like Branding

— November 22, 2016 — Pop Culture
Tyler, The Creator expanded his fashion offerings with a fresh pair of Golf Wang Vans. Last year, the rapper joined with the brand to release a collection of skate shoes as well, all of which boasted bold colorways of yellow, orange, blue, green and red. Along with this, the sneakers all featured statement patterns, as Van's iconic checkerboard was utilized throughout.

For the latest Golf Wang Vans however, Tyler, The Creator makes use of a more neutral aesthetic. He manages this by leaving the majority of the low-top model a simple cream hue. A crisp tone of white meanwhile complements the laces and sole. In contrast to this, stripes of blue and red are tied into the look -- working well with the bright black and yellow embroidery on the heel.
