Vans Is Launching Nightmare Before Christmas Sneakers More Than 2 Decades After Film's Premiere
Tim Burton fans are freaking out over Vans’ new sneaker inspired by the filmmaker’s hit Disney movie, The Nightmare Before Christmas..
Vans first teased a collaboration with Disney in an Instagram post on Tuesday by simply saying, “The Nightmare Before Christmas x Vans coming soon.”
While the shoe plan has been playing coy about what the sneaker looks like, retailer Sneaker Politics obtained an image of it (which has since been deleted), that was then shared by HypeBeast. According to the outlet, Van’s Sk8-Hi, Authentic, Old-Skool and Slip-On shoe styles have been redesigned to feature colorful collages of The Nightmare Before Christmas’ iconic characters allover, including Sally, Zero, Jack Skellington and the Zombie Band.
