We don’t doubt that the glitchy, multi-material chaos of the Premium Authentic Charms Pack will divide people. It’s clear the shoe is going to have a black liquorice flavouring, with the loudness of the colourways and additional charms either going down with delight or a hard pass. This is not a wardrobe staple, it’s a statement shoe, and we love a big swing…
Drawing inspo from Chanel’s La Habana bag from the 2016/17 collection, the shoe is available in two colourways: Americana Red/Navy and Americana Black/White, and features removable charmed keepsakes (that’s the charms, duh), alongside sequins and extra curly laces.
The elevated Premium Authentic silhouette needs no introduction — the shoe is one of the most iconic styles ever, and is worthy of a revisit as part of Vans’ 60th anniversary celebrations, with the company going all out in exploring its legacy and the footwear that has been embedded into culture.
