The Supreme x Vans SS 2011 collection revisits the Mike Carroll signature shoes originally released by Vans back in '94. The result are a series of simple, but extremely colorful shoes that reflects the warm vibrant seasons. The low-top style kicks are made from both mesh and suede and features the trademark Vans shoe design. Six different colorways will be available for purchase. Whether it's shoes or clothes, retro designs are dominating the fashion world. With [Nike](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/courtposite) re-releasing Air Penny's and [Ray-Ban](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ray-ban-star-wars) wayfarers in-style once again, it's apparent that there's more to revisiting the past than just nostalgia alone.
