Sneakersnstuff is no strangers to collaborations, but over the course of the Swedish boutique's decade-plus run, the retailer has never linked up with skate powerhouse Vans—until now.

Dubbed the "Stockholm," SNS chose one of Vans' most memorable silhouettes, the Slip-on LX, to pay tribute to the capital's storied ties to skateboarding. More specifically, these Slip-ons represent Sergels Torg (or Plattan), a public area where skaters first congregated in Stockholm. This collab flips Vans' instantly recognizable checkerboard pattern into a triangular print that represents the architecture found on Plattan.  

The Sneakersnstuff x Vans "Stockholm" will release exclusively at SNS on May 9.
