Vans has treated us to some of the best native-themed sneakers over the years (Taka Hayashi’s ongoing collaborative efforts, among the industry’s most progressive), and today we see how these traditional themes can be subtly integrated to add an extra boost to a couple of established favorites. The Vans ‘Beads’ Pack takes two of your favorites, trims them down and applies earthy suedes, beads on the bottom lace and in the case of the Vans Chukka Slim, adds a tribal-ish triangle pattern in N7-ish colors on the heel. Click through for more of those plus the Authentic Slim ‘Beads’ and grab yours today from Vans retailers like Flatspot.
