The iconic Vans brand, in collaboration with the Wyland Foundation have created a Limited Edition run of the Vans x Wyland Kraken slip-on sneaker for the ultimate in street style. These slick looking skater shoes feature marine artist Wyland’s ‘Octopus Seas’ imagery customized to be printed across both sneakers for a sick asymmetrical balance.
Classic Vans Style
The Limited Edition Vans x Wyland Kraken’s feature classic Vans style skater lines with reinforced canvas uppers for durability that will last. The rear half of the Kraken is layed out in black canvas with subtle white stitch lines to resemble that classic suit tailoring look.
Solid white sidewalls and a precisely glued midsole, accented with a black pinstripe enhance the sneaker artwork making the design really pop. You’ll want to be caught out on the street wearing these! The Wyland logo is prominently placed across the collar loud and proud. The traditional placard logo on the back stamps it officially Vans.
