Since their inception in the 1970s as the go-to shoe for skaters, Vans have grown to be favored by many skaters and non-skaters alike. So it only makes sense for a brand as classic as Vans to partner with the equally classic J.Crew.
The latest partnership from the two brands has yielded five new sneakers, all iterations of Vans’ most famed styles — Authentic, Era and Old Skool. Each version has been rendered in exclusive colorways and patterns you won’t be able to get anywhere but J.Crew. The new takes on the old classics demonstrate a return to the brand’s Anaheim roots, and the 70s, with a distinct Californian feel evident in the washed canvas Authentic Sneakers, and the Era pair in a wash of mismatched heathered blues.
And for the slightly more conspicuous pairs, you can opt for the Authentic in Olive Leopard or the Old Skool in Dark Floral, although they’re still subtle enough to fit seamlessly into your wardrobe.
