Classic skateboard clothing and shoe brand Vans released the new Old Skool sneakers -- a pink and white take on the brand's traditional women's skate shoe silhouette.
The design has been revamped with a pastel pink colorway named the 'Pink Double Light Gum.' The vibrant and whimsical shoes have an all-over pink suede upper, a sleek clean side stripe, white laces and tonal stitching. The mid-sole features a comfortable light pink material with the timeless Vans logo, as well as the Vans Off The Wall license plate logo on the back.
The new Old Skool sneakers for women by Vans are available online now for $100 -- just in time to be the newest staple piece in any spring wardrobe.
