Footwear label Vans joins retailer Barneys to create the Vanosaur collection comprised of four sneaker silhouettes in total. All of the sneakers in the pack are complete in an all-over design infused through embroidered processes -- the graphic of playful dinosaurs in sunglasses whilst skateboarding adorns the silhouettes. This visual boasts a hand-drawn design and it references a print that Vans first incorporated back in the 80s.
The six different offerings are complete in either a black or white canvas -- this includes the signature Old Skools and the Authentic in black or white each, a black tonal Sk8-Hi, and a kid's black Slip-On. Additional to the dinosaur pattern, the sneakers are complete atop a white tonal rubber midsole, metal eyelets, and the classic jazz side stripe.
