The new Spitfire Vans TNT 5 shoe for men is celebrating the creepy colors of Halloween a few months early this year. The shoe is decked out in [orange and black](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/black-and-total-orange), the spooky day's traditional hues.

The Spitfire Vans TNT 5 is an epic skate shoe collaboration between Vans and the pro skater Tony Trujillo. The shoe is covered in a canvas material and is modeled after the [classic Vans skater-style shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vans-otw-x-undercover). These shoes have an extremely relaxed and casual appearance that's certainly more suitable for laidback looks. Each shoe is detailed with orange lace eyelets, with a Spitfire logo embroidered on the side heel in vibrant orange thread. A fireball logo is also featured on the bottom of the white rubber heel. The Spitfire Vans TNT 5 shoe is available online at the [Premier](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lady-premier) website.
