The Dead of the Dead is a Mexican holiday that family and friends celebrate by remembering their friends and family members who have died. Private altars to honor the decrease are usually built using sugar skulls, marigolds, and the favorite foods and beverages of the departed as gifts.
In honor of this special occasion, Vans is planning to release four sneakers in two different colorways; two Sk8-His and two Slip-Ons.
The first set has a Black canvas frame, a White midsole, and White laces while the other one is most colorful with a Teal/Purple base, White midsole, and Purple laces. Both sets feature candy skull graphics and other Mexican embroidery on the sides and ankle.
Slated to drop Fall 2010 most likely around November 2nd (Day of the Dead).
