Vans and Joe Freshgoods Unveils a Set of Colorful Sneakers

Vans Vault works in collaboration with Joe Freshgoods on a new set of sneakers for the season. This time around, the duo spotlights the signature Old Skool sneaker model as the base foundation. The Chicago-based designer reworks the iconic shoe in colorful updates.

This includes pink, red, and peach palettes that are made from canvas materials all throughout the upper for a bright look. It also has the notable JFG checkerboard pattern that details the shoe complete with suede overlays for textural contrast. It sits on top of a vulcanized rubber sole unit foundation with a yellow stripe on the side for a classic skate aesthetic. It is packaged in a custom pink box with co-branded details.
