American pride and skate culture are made adjacent within Vans' 'American Freedom' pack. This capsule collection features two well-known Vans silhouettes rendered with patriotic patterning.
This isn't the first time the California skate brand has honored America. Following the brand's 2012 'American Flag' Sk8-Hi sneakers, the 'American Freedom' pack features both the Sk8-Hi and the Authentic silhouettes. Vans has rendered both of the recognizable skate shoes with American flag uppers while the Sk8-Hi also features images of a bald eagle. Though these shoes look like the perfect pieces for a 4th of July look, each style also boasts the perfect look for the upcoming festival season.
Online sneaker shop Sneaker Politics is currently retailing both of the patriotic skate shoes on its webstore.
