To call us sneaker freaks would be an understatement. We've likely got more athletic-inspired footwear lining our closet floors than we'd like to admit. Why? Well, we're big proponents of comfort here at R29, and we can't seem to hit up a shoe store without spotting a pair of Vans that must come home and be a part of the collection.
So, imagine our excitment when we heard that the iconic L.A.-based label was teaming up with IAMSOUND and homegrown gals (and 30 Under 30 honorees) Dakota Solt and Lisa Ziven of Crybaby Presents! For the shoe's Classics line, the designers decorated the famous footwear with flowers, bananas, and our personal fave — Cali-appropriate cacti!
