If an emergency should occur the first to be guided to safety are generally women and children. They are pretty used to preferential treatment and it shouldn’t be any different when it comes to sneakers right? So this drop of a Vans Colored by Crayola Collection shouldn’t be shocking at all.

The drop is scribble friendly as it takes your toddlers artwork off the walls and onto their feet (which they should also be keeping off of the walls). The crayola coloring ensure that the colors will be kid approved and with models like the Era, Sk8-Hi, Slip-On and Authentic there is no doubt that they are also parent approved. Look for these to hit retail soon. Via Nikejordan4u.com
