Classic shoe company Vans teamed up with old-school rap group A Tribe Called Quest on a new limited edition line of sneakers for kids.
The line features the brand's traditional silhouette and styles in a new and stylish fashion. One of the pairs were inspired by the band's third album 'Midnight Marauders' with a green, red and yellow colorway that looks similar to the album artwork. Additionally, the brand decided to pay tribute to the final album 'We Got It From Here...Thank You 4 Your Service' with a similar colorway on the slip-on style.
The new limited-edition line of A Tribe Called Quest and Vans shoes is available online now, in sizes for babies, toddlers and kids.
