Vans is adding a psychedelic twist to its iconic checkerboard motif, offering the ComfyCush Era and Old Skool with vibrant tie-dye squares.

While both silhouettes arrive in polychromatic hues of purple, red, orange, yellow, green and blue, the Era’s tile gaps are filled with white while the Old Skool’s take on the opposing color of black. Branding hits can be found on the traditional red heel plates, with the Era holding an additional tag by the stitching. Both iterations rest on white midsoles, finally tied together with white laces for a clean finish.

The Vans ComfyCush Era and Old Skool “Tie-Dye Checker” are both available now on the Vans online store, priced at $65 USD and $70 USD respectively.
