The folks at Vans are catching all of our attention lately. Just last week we were drooling over our Euro Pick -- a gorgeous "Orchid Mist" Sk8-Hi we peeped on the Gram. And now, our swoon is hitting new heights with this checkered Old Skool platform.

The signature Vans checkered pattern covers an all canvas upper while a padded ankle collar and stacked white midsole completes the offering. This is a similar Old Skool Platform drop to the Urban Outfitters pair we posted back in March, however, this one isn't an exclusive UO drop. Don't sleep on this one if you missed the UO release, though: this Old Skool packs a ton of wearability. From jeans to dresses, never underestimate the power of versatility.

Ringing in at a budget-friendly $70 USD, the Vans Old Skool Platform Checker is available now.
