Step into the Year of the Tiger with the latest Vans Family Member Exclusive, designed in collaboration with contemporary Chinese artist Chen Yingjie (a.k.a Huatunan). The Year Of The Tiger Authentic pairs the classic Vans Sidestripe shoe with Yingjies Stay Hungry series of works, which deconstruct and reorganise traditional and modern Chinese elements. The member exclusive features an ink painting design that extends along the sidewall and is accented by tiger stripe laces and a waffle sole. Just like the spiritual core of street culture, the tiger symbolises exploration, adventure and perseverance. This Authentic shoe goes out of the box and explores the unknown. This style comes with an additional pair of laces. Size 9.5
