Vans has been collaboration frequently lately as the American skate company is teaming up with European retailer Offspring to produce two Vans Authentic sneakers. Both shoes will feature fleece uppers with white soles while one pair has a light grey upper with the other pair having a darker grey upper with red piping and laces. Look for these to drop soon at Offspring.
The shoes are an original 1966 lace up deck shoe, available in a cream hemp, and a classic blue canvas. Both feature a vulcanized rubber sole and padded footbed; timeless in its minimalism. Vans Authentic Trainers are now available at oki-ni.
Elegance generally lives in simplicity. Sure an overly designed shoe with crazy color blocking and materials can be awesome but so can a one color, one piece construction Vans Authentic. Enter this specially designed Authentic for the Vans California Collection.
The shoes are set to release in brown, lavender, golden yellow, grey, blue and black and each are done in canvas with a one piece construction and white vulcanized sole. The tonal hang tag is also a nice touch. Silver eyelets provide the only break in color way and these will not provide a break in your pocket. ViaKicksonFire
