Two of Vans’ most revered models, the Sk8-Hi and Era, are back in their original forms for this colourful Vans Vault Aloha Pack.

With the spring season coming that bit closer, this is the kind of release that we like to see. You can’t go wrong with a touch of Hawaiian print during the warmer months and Vans’ custom pattern here hits the spot. Both shoes make use of the print on the outside of the shoe with pink on the Sk8-Hi and teal on the Era contrasting the pattern. It’s a wacky combo that in theory shouldn’t work, but it does here. Combine that unusual coupling with Vans’ checkerboard pattern on the outsole and you‘d think that’s a recipe for disaster. Somehow, Vans pull it off.
