Lazy Oaf and Vans have collaborated on a new collection that features four vibrant sneakers for consumers to add to their wardrobes.
This adorable collaboration features four shoes, all of which elicit a whimsical yet fashion-forward aesthetic that can be paired with any outfit. Fan-favorites from the line include the re-imagined Vand Old Skool silhouette that's been updated with a black sole and stamped with a pink rose print. Meanwhile, another offering features a black suede upper, pink details and checkered laces. A chunky platform tops off this look, appealing to a more audacious fashionista.
While collaboration isn't new for these brands, its the first time the two have worked together, bringing consumers four shoes that embody both brands' aesthetics.
