# Skeletal Skate Shoes The Vans 'Day of the Dead' Pack Lets You Celebrate the Holiday in Style By Michael Hines | Published 2010-08-25 | Updated 2010-08-27 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/of-the-dead-pack References: [highsnobiety](http://www.highsnobiety.com/news/2010/08/24/vans-vault-day-of-the-dead-pack-fall-2010/) & [vault.vans](http://vault.vans.com/) The Vans ‘Day of the Dead’ pack is the perfect shoe to help you celebrate the upcoming holiday. Although [Dia de los Muertos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/timex-day-of-the-dead-weekender) isn’t exactly around the corner, it’s still always good to be prepared. The ‘Day of the Dead’ pack comes in two different colorways, each with a skull on the side panel. I am partial to the [multicolored version](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/parra-and-otw) myself, but either way, you can’t go wrong with these [celebratory shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dunk-low-halloween-1). Keep your eyes open because these shoes are expected to drop October 1st, 2010. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.4/10 - Popularity: 35% | Activity: 59% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/shoes) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Holiday-themed Footwear:** Opportunity to create more holiday-themed footwear for different cultural celebrations. - **Skull Motifs:** Opportunity to incorporate skull motifs into fashion accessories other than just for Halloween or Day of the Dead. - **Cultural Appreciation Fashion:** Opportunity to create more fashion items that celebrate and appreciate different cultures. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Footwear Industry:** Opportunity for the footwear industry to expand its market by catering to different cultural celebrations. - **Fashion Industry:** Opportunity for the fashion industry to incorporate cultural appreciation into their designs. - **Accessories Industry:** Opportunity for the accessories industry to diversify their offerings with culturally inspired motifs. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Textural Festive Sneaker Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/da-de-muertos-collection.md) - [Graphic Skate Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vans-otw-x-undercover.md) - [Crackled Holiday-Inspired Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nike-5.md) - [Textural Update Skate Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zhang-quan-1.md) - [Celebratory Tex-Mex Meal Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/old-el-paso-day-of-the-dead.md) - [Horse-Themed Skate Shoe Packs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/liu-bolin-x-vans.md) - [Festive Crackled Low-Cut Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dunk-low-halloween-1.md) - [Knitted Heritage Skate Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/knit-pack.md) - [Streetwear Skate Remixes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-future.md)
