Ross Dwyer Platform soles have been one of the hottest trends in women’s sneakers, and Nike is getting in on the action with their own maximalist take on the classic Vandal silhouette. Entitled the “Vandal Surprise,” the new women’s-only sneaker ditches the Vandal’s high top and thin sole for a low top and a thick, chunky sole that’s double-stacked for maximum platform effect. The Vandal’s classic collar strap is moved down towards the toebox, and a mesh upper offers an old-school look with a modernized twist. Two colorways of the new sneaker are set to arrive: a silver/red with blue accents that nods to the Vandal’s OG colorway from 1985, and a clean black/white with metallic gold accents for an extra pop of flair. Look for both of these head-turning new takes on a Nike classic to arrive on Nike.com May 5th for $120 USD.
Update: Nike WMNS Vandal 2K now available at Nordstrom.
