From ASICS to adidas to Nike, 2019 has certainly been a big year for sneaker reissues, and now to wrap things up for the decade, Vans has followed suit by bringing back its psychedelic “Refract Pack” for the iconic Sk8-Hi.

Consisting two colorways, both come with a blacked-out upper as a canvas for a burst of vivid and colorful stripes running along the laterals. The black-soled silhouette brings out warmer tones ranging from reds to oranges to purples, while the white-soled iteration boasts colors from all across the rainbow’s spectrum as well as matching white stitching across the entire body. Both colorways feature black laces running up to a black tongue tag with a contrasting white Vans logo.

For those looking for more retro sneaker options this holiday season, the reissued Vans Sk8-Hi “Refract Pack” in “Black” and “True White” is now available over at the company’s online store, retailing for $65 USD per pair. Get a closer look in the gallery above.
