The Vans Aloha Parrots Pay Homage to Hawaii

You may not be able to visit Hawaii anytime soon, but you can still dress like you are with the Vans Aloha Parrots. These shoes add a floral panel to the ever-popular Sk8 Hi and drop just in time to remind every snowbound American just what they're missing out on.

While most Hawaiian-themed clothes look terribly tacky, the Vans Aloha Parrots still manage to look cool with their low-key design and non-overpowering floral print. Check it out above.
