Spooky season is approaching and colors are getting darker and scarier. Vans looks to go the mile on a fall collection as they look to team up with Disney’s, “The Nightmare Before Christmas” on a cellection that houses the Sk8-Hi, Authentic, Old Skool, and Slip-On models.
The Nightmare Before Christmas will always be a classic. Tim Burton showcased his film mastery and will always be remembered for the movie. His attention to detail, color and depth are still astounding 26 years later in an era of high-tech movies and graphics. Every Halloween and even Christmas season, fans show their support for the film and buy up and any all merchandise made available that year. This year, fans are getting treated with a collaboration with skate and lifestyle shoe brand, Vans.
As of now, four different iterations will be released. The Sk8-Hi will arrive with a dark makeover that sees purple across the midfoot with a design of Sally and Zero along with pumpkins and other spooky designs. The Slip-On takes on the most peculiar look as it plays the role of Jack’s iconic tux and even features his bow-tie across the top. Although two down and two to go, each silhouette is diverse and unique and in no way seems redundant. The last two are the fan-favorite Old Skool and Authentic. The Old Skool is painted in the brightest colors of them all as green, red, and purple all make up the themed graphic. Lastly, the Authentic opts out of bright colors and calls upon black and white for an all-over look that sees spooky images along with most of the cast.
