As of late, Vans has been busy pumping out fresh releases to keep its consumers happy, with examples including the 'Toy Story' collaboration that was done with Disney, as well as new lightweight sneakers that are more suited to those who value simplistic styles.
Taking its 'Old Skool' and 'Sk8-Hi' models, the footwear giant adapts the classics to be more comfortable -- adding in a revitalized sole design and covering the uppers with soft suede. All carry a monochromatic colorway in a neutral tone, with two variations of gray available, as well as black.
The one-toned upper is carried through to the branding that appears on the sides, in addition to the laces and even the tags that stick out. Finishing it off is a crisp white sole that's decorated with texturing on the toe and branding on the heel.
