Over the course of its longstanding history, Vans has applied the palm leaf print to several of its classic silhouettes, for instance, creating a pack centered around the summer-friendly pattern a few years back. The tropical motif makes its return in the form of this themed Sk8-Hi rendition.

The uppers feature a core soft pink base with the signature print in black swathing the sides and heel area. Additional hits of black make its way onto the side stripe and eyelets, while the white midsole completes the design. Retailing for a price of $62 USD, this new Vans model can be found at such outlets as Sneaker Politics.

In other footwear news, Nike’s Air Force 1 Low will soon drop in a “Black/University Red” paisley pattern.
