VANS INTRODUCES THE STACKED COLLECTION REINVENTING TWO ICONIC MODELS

Stacked by Vans is the new collection of the American brand. However, the new word does not exclude history. That past necessary so that a prosperous future can exist, oriented towards new discoveries and stimuli. That’s why the company decided to inaugurate another path, using two key pieces of its heritage: the Classic Era, reinventing it, and the Sk8-Hi, defining a new design.

Available in the flag-ship stores and online since mid-June 2019, the models are renewed as follows: «the Era, launches the three-piece collection and uses the original multi-panel construction with uppers in cotton canvas available in two color variants. The first shoe is characterized by a reinforced platform structure; the black & white shade sees an oversized checkerboard bumper under the heel and a translucent sole with a rubber coating that wraps around the toe. A second model from the Era is characterized by a two-tone purple and black upper with a transparent and translucent aquamarine sole accentuated by an oversized bumper.»They explain from Vans.

NOT JUST COLORS: IT’S PLATFORM MANIA

Lately there are many sports brands that make colorful sneakers. And then, in order not to be confused among the many, we must add another element. Stacked by Vans chose the wedge. In fact, all the models are distinguished by an exaggerated sole and a translucent foxing ribbon. The reason? To give «a bold and original interpretation by including this collection in the current sneaker trend in the fashion industry.»
