Brand: Vans

Model: OG Era LX

Key Features: Vans’ OG Era LX is given a Cali-themed update with a subtle paisley pattern on the canvas upper and summery palm tree graphics along the rubber midsole.

Release Date: Available now (SSENSE) and dropping soon at Vans

Price: $90

Buy: Vans and SSENSE

Editor’s Notes: Vans and paisley go together like peanut butter and jelly. Over the years, the California skateboard brand has had its fair share of bandana-inspired colorways. Therefore, this latest pack, which comprises three tonal colorways, is nothing earth-shattering. However, there’s a reason Vans keeps bringing back the bandana paisley — it’s a fan favorite. This time around, Vans keeps the paisley pattern more subtle and adds typical California graphics along the midsole, which helps elevate the sneaker beyond your regular general releases.

Two colorways from the pack (red and green) are available at SSENSE already (for a discounted price). The entire pack is reportedly set to drop at Vans soon.
