Is your shoe collection calling for a rebellious revamp? Your desire is Paura’s command. The Italian designer label has collaborated with Vans to breathe new life into the iconic Vans Authentic low-top design, infusing it with a bold, punk-rock ethos.
Breaking away from the conventional canvas material, the Paura x Vans Authentic line brings a raw, artisanal quality into the mix. Debuting in two striking color schemes—a timeless black and white, and a subtle green and ivory—the entire shoe’s upper is adorned with a breathtaking, aerosol-art checkboard diamond pattern. Enhancing the intentional roughness and worn-in look, these kicks boast the collection’s crowning jewel: custom, Italian-crafted metal hardware.
Looping bars and rock-styled bull rings pierce through the laces and hangtags, producing a jewelry-infused appearance that echoes body piercings. Adorned with a co-branded Paura seal on the creamy insoles, these trainers summit our summer wish list.
The Paura x Vans Authentic line will be on sale starting June 6 via the Vans and Paura internet stores, as well as chosen retailers.
On another note, Nike is introducing a vibrant pink Total 90 sneaker for the summer season.
