Slam Jam Reveals Upcoming Collaboration With Vans

Italian retailer Slam Jam Socialism offers a wide variety of kicks and gear, blending the street and the runways together with their expansive — but still carefully curated — selection. Vans is a brand with deep roots in both skate and surf, but their timeless designs have enjoyed a tremendous amount of crossover appeal as well. With those similarities it makes a great deal of sense for the two parties to collaborate, and collaborate they have: they’ve got a co-branded Vans Era releasing December 15th. The shoe is awash in special detailing, featuring a tri-colored checkerboard pattern of cream, black, and red, while the midsole features a medley of logos designed by graphic artist Fergadelic — who’s most well-known for creating Palace’s signature tri-ferg logo. Get a good look at images of the colorful collaborative kicks right here, and be sure to head over to Slam Jam‘s webstore on the 15th to secure your personal pair.
