Everything’s pretty in pink these days, especially when it comes to sneakers (check out our latest round up here). The world just can’t get enough of the colour, so it’s no real surprise that Vans – kingpins of the skatewear universe, has revolved its latest “California Souvenir” pack around, yes, you guessed it: street-worthy kicks that are a rose-tinted dream come true.
These kicks come in the form of gorgeous pink satin slip-ons, complete with embroidery that’s intricately stitched on each shoe, with two tigers standing on top of rose petals, facing each other off. There’s also a badass black version that separates the tiger from the floral motifs, which makes for a nice contrast.
All of this is juxtaposed by a lustrous satin paneling throughout both sets of shoes, with the pink version especially striking due to the silky sheen of the satin. But that’s not all. Vans has also given its classic Old Skool and Sk8-Hi delicate satin makeovers as well, subtly embedding golden details on each shoe’s heel.
To put the icing on the cake, Vans has also dropped three different sets of clothing styles, with a jacket, a crewneck, and a T-shirt paying tribute to the company’s suburban Californian heritage. At the end of the day though, the only things we want are those irresistible pink slip-ons, and we’re sure you guys feel the same way too.
There’s no word yet as to whether this collection will be made available locally in Singapore, although you can try your luck via Vans’ Canadian website from the first week of October onwards, or at the very least, get some third party to help feed your sneaker addiction.
