Sneakers National Geographic

Vans and National Geographic have teamed up on a collection of shoes and apparel that celebrates over 130 years of the never-ending quest to explore our planet. Honoring National Geographic for its long tradition of seeking out and telling the story, Vans x National Geographic Photo Ark Kids Clasica Slip-On features a durable, low-profile slip-on with organic cotton canvas uppers featuring animal photos taken from Nat Geo's Photo Ark project. It also includes molded heel cups for support and flexibility, elasticized sides and the famous rubber waffle sole. National Geographic's Photo Ark uses the power of photography to inspire people to save endangered species before it's too late. Photo founder Joel Sartori has photographed more than 9,000 species around the world as part of a larger effort to document every species currently living in zoos and wildlife sanctuaries, inspire action through education, and help save wildlife by supporting conservation efforts on the ground.
