ARGOMENTO: Vans Slip-On Black Friday

Vans Slip-On Black Friday

The Vans Slip-On Womens has surely had a busy year with its almost constant transformations. Seen only a few months ago in a velvet retooling by the Japanese label Needles, the model is now taking a few notes from others’ books to embrace a welcome maximalism. With the Vans Slip-On Mens silhouette being internationally recognized, it’s only natural to completely transform the upper with an overall satin fabrication and hits of floral embroidery. Arriving in two base tones — one a more subtle black with the other being a bold, deep red — the rest of the upper is adorned with a colorful range of old flowers through a luxe brocade finish.

The print itself is a rare vintage embellishment that was first used by Vans in the ’80s, and Barneys has elevated it a notch by embroidering the whimsical dinosaurs directly onto the upper instead of using a simple printed canvas. The collection consists of six shoes in total: black/white Vans Old Skools and Vans Authentics plus a black Vans Sk8-Hi and a kids-only black Vans Slip-On Black Friday, all of which are completed with classic Vans touches like white rubber midsoles, jazz stripe side detailing, and retro metal eyelets.

Supreme and Vans are a match made in collaborative heaven. The legendary New York City skate shop has touched basically every relevant skate model in the Vans catalog, and their latest team-up comes in the form of the
classic Vans Slip-On Sale featuring a familiar “666” graphic print on 3 brand new options. The Supreme Vans Slip-On 666 Pack will be available in-store and online in a drab shade of blue, a busy cream and black checkerboard pattern to contrast the red ‘666’ ovals printed throughout, and a simple black. Each pair comes equipped with contrast white lining and red insoles.
