America’s flag is widely regarded as one of the most recognizable on the planet (and off it, if you count the moon) but there are around 30 countries globally that use red, white and blue on their national flags.

That timeless palette gives the newest Vans Super Lowpro Shoe an understated patriotic feel with global appeal.

The Super Lowpro Shoe is one of Vans’ bestselling ’80s-influenced lifestyle shoes, and mixes its history and retro runner styling with contemporary design.

The latest version of the popular everyday silhouette, an aptly-named Blue colorway, leans on the patriotic combination of red, white and blue, without going overboard.

Nostalgic details like the heritage “Serio” branding on the tongue, perforated details on the upper and tow-layer Sidestripe panels pay homage to the design’s vintage roots.

Under the hood, the upgraded components remain the same: the EVA midsole and wedge add lightweight cushioning, the padded tongue adds comfort and the Ortholite foam insole makes every step feel better than the last.

The result is a shoe that maintains its understated vibe and wearability while adding in a dose of heritage-coded aesthetics.
