Popular culture typically portrays punk music and culture as being a nihilistic all-out party, but straight edge offers a significant subset that reminds us the key unifying factor for all punks is social critique and the hope for a better world. And for those of us who enjoy colorful sneakers, the world will be a better place next spring when the Gorilla Biscuits x Vans pack releases to retail. Consisting of a Vans Sk8-Hi and Slip-On, these joints both go with bright pastel shades in place of Vans almost-always-white waffle sole to further accentuate a couple of solid palettes. Check out both pairs after the jump and look for these at select Off the Wall retailers next month. via FNG
