A new take on a classic. That’s one way of describing the new collaboration between Japanese brand Porter and legendary California brand Vans, which highlights the unique elements of both brands not only with sneakers, but also accessories and bags, which Porter have been making since 1962.

In addition to four popular sneakers, at Footshop the collection also includes a bag, a wallet and a tag. To be specific, you can look forward to two colorways of the Vans Old Skool model, one Vans Sk8-Hi model and one Vans Slip-on model. All the models are thematically linked with orange details which define and accompany the collection from the smallest seams to the bright inside of all four models. 

At the same time, a monochrome aloha/flora pattern graces all the sneakers, alternating with the iconic checkerboard pattern. A specialty of this release are the interchangeable laces for each pair and also a removable or interchangeable side stripe for the darker Old Skools. 

The Porter x Vans collection is part of the Vans Vault product line. Learn more about this unique series in this article and discover art expressed through some of the best known sneakers.
