Barneys x Vans BNY Sole Series Sneakers ($140-$145)
As part of their popular BNY Sole Series, Barneys has recently teamed up with Vans to launch a luxurious capsule collection of the brand’s iconic 90’s footwear.
The BNY Sole Series consists of collaborations between Barneys and select coveted footwear brands and includes luxurious reinterpretations of iconic looks and styles. Basically a pimped-out version of some of your favorite kicks. Past collaborations have included Adidas and their Stan Smith’s, Fila, Timberland, Common Projects, and other revived classics that come and go with the trends, and of course Vans is the latest comeback revival to get the luxe treatment.
As for what that treatment entails, it includes two classic Vans silhouettes—the Sk8-Hi and Old Skool—bathed in nubuck and leather with muted neutral colors like brown, gray, and dark green creating a more sophisticated look for the iconic styles, not to mention the iconic Vans logo, which in our opinion looks a lot cleaner and sleeker subtly blended in with the muted colors. Perfect paired with a suit and tie, blazer, jeans, and even slacks for a dressier look compared with their more casual Vans counterpart.
