Vans spins golden accents into some of its classic motifs on this, the latest collection marking its 50th anniversary.

Hallmarks of Vans design like the checkerboard and surfer Duke Kahanamoku's aloha pattern are given regal feel a with the color upgrades, which appear restrained in some cases and ostentatious in others.

The Vans silhouettes used in the pack will satisfy longtime fans of the brand. There's the Authentic, Era, Old SkoolSk8-Hi and Slip-On, along with matching apparel. All of these Vans sneakers are available now.

Watch for the brand to continue this celebration in 2016 with more retro product and collaborative efforts.
