The perfect summer sneaker comes in all shapes and sizes, but we'll always be rooting for a sneaker that can go from sweaty city streets to the beach and back again without a second thought. Vans' classic sneakers fit the bill, but now the skater staple is also a high-fashion item, thanks to the brand's collaboration with Proenza Schouler.
Dropping today, the puffy leather version of the Classic Slip On, with extra-shiny rubber sidewalls, is part marshmallow, part cloud, and 100 percent fashion. The shoe also retails for $200, making it a (semi-)affordable kick for Vans lovers and Proenza heads alike, and is available in three colorways: raw, resin, and black.
The ecru and black are available at otw.vans.com and proenzaschouler.com, while the resin colorway is available exclusively at proenzaschouler.com and the Proenza Schouler flagship store in New York. If you love the exaggerated proportions of this simple summer shoe, don't hesitate because they won't be on the shelves for long.
