Superstar rapper Tyga has partnered with the American art collective MSCHF to drop the 'Wavy Baby' sneaker. The new silhouette offers fans a tripped-out take on the classic Vans Old Skool skate shoe.
The Wavy Baby maintains the fundamental elements of the original Vans Old Skool, such as its black and white color scheme and signature canvas and suede construction. However, as the name suggests, the sneaker distorts the original model's clean lines, delivering wavy white outsoles, stripes, and stitching. In addition, the new silhouette features a bright red heel tab on the sole, which isn't found on the classic model.
For those interested, the Tyga x MSCHF "Wavy Baby" sneaker is set to drop on April 18 where it will be sold via MSCHF's app.
