Perlicue and Vans Join Forces to Celebrate the Year of the Pig
Chinese label Perlicue works in collaboration with footwear label Vans on a sneaker pack to celebrate the upcoming Chinese New Year. The duo works together to ring in the 'Year of the Pig,' which is also recognized as the 'Fat Year.' The sneaker pack highlights the Old Skool and the Era, two iconic models by Vans.
The color palette indulges in bright reds and white with details such as large midsoles, detachable side stripes, and thick laces. All of these reworked details are meant to reference the 'fat year' and its symbol of luck. The Era sneakers showcase a checkered pattern and the Old Skool has a bright foot wrap. There is also a pig motif on the insoles to add another representative emblem of the overarching theme.
