The Vans x PVW collection launched Wednesday featuring a beach-friendly, low-top silhouette that reflects the blue hues of oceans and tidepools.
The shoes, available for men and women, include a lightweight UltraCush sockliner for enhanced breathability, canvas and cotton mesh uppers, a signature leather sidestrip and a tailored form for a relaxed fit, retailing for $62 online.

Vans Surf team riders, the Gudauskas brothers, established the nonprofit foundation to spread ocean awareness and water safety education.
Sandals, T-shirts and shorts are also a part of the collection.
