Vans Late Night Pack
Always got junk food on the mind? Now you can wear it on your feet, quite literally, thanks to Vans’ latest snack-inspired collection. Printed with burgers, pizza, chips and fizzy drinks, each pair gives a classic Vans silhouette a foodie makeover that is sure to have you salivating in seconds. However, we’re leaning toward the cartoon burger-printed Classic Slip-Ons for a more abstract take on the theme. Finished with panels of the shoe’s iconic chequered pattern, this standout pair is sure to turn a few hungry heads. Available at Vans, priced £52.
Le Coq Sportif 25th Anniversary Dynactif
Le Coq Sportif may not excite the same kind of sneaker thirst as its more famous rivals, but it’s a brand with some serious milestones under its midsole. Not least the now 25-year-old Dynactif System, celebrated with a new collection that marks this milestone. The comfort technology is made up of double inserts of two densities in the midsole, offering improved comfort in the back and propulsion at the fore of the foot. Technical details aside, the label has turned out three silhouettes from its archives in retro-feel shades to mark the occasion, including the first release of the T4000 hi-top in the UK. We’re putting these on our wish list for their nineties vibe and statement paneling. Available at Le Coq Sportif, priced £95.
