SCOTS fashion fans have gone into a frenzy over a pair of Vans shoes that look like a can of Irn-Bru.
The two-tone sneakers feature orange and blue panels in the same shade as the national fizzy drink.
Twitter user Charlotte Wilson pointed out the similarities and mulled over whether she wanted a pair.

She tweeted: "These Vans look like cans of Irn Bru and I don’t know if that’s a good thing or a bad thing."
The tweet has now had more than 1300 likes, and many people said they were desperate to buy some.
One tweeted: "Where are these sold, I'm buying. Love Bru." Another wrote: "Need to purchase immediately."
A third was on the fence: "Oh my god. Kinda love them, kinda hate them."
The shoes have since sold out on the ASOS website so they must be attracting fans.

Irn-Bru was caught up in controversy when it was revealed the brand had ditched its original recipe for a less sugary one thanks to the sugar tax.
The tax means any drink containing more than 5g sugar per 100ml will come with an 18p-per-litre tax, while those with more than 8g sugar per 100ml now have a 24p-per-litre tax.
