NEW VANS

Aside from the LEBRON 9s dropping today, you might want to pick up the latest from Vans as well. They actually dropped about a week ago and I’m surprised that there are still pairs available. These 5 pairs come from their Classics, OTW, and California lines, all great for everyday wear. First up is the Chukka Del Barco California (5,498 php), done in walnut brown leather. The two-tone shade on the upper builds that great contrast, whether you’re wearing khakis or denims. If you’re still feeling the boat shoe look, there’s the Zapato Del Barco (3,698 php). The all black leather upper has that worn-in look that gives off that vintage look you plan to pull off.

Moving on to their OTW line is the Cobern (5,298 php). As we have seen the deck shoe prosper on to the fashion scene, here’s another style from Vans that can work on and off the dock. The Cobern uses a mix of canvas and leather on the upper, matched up with white collar lining and laces creating that balance throughout the shoe. If you want a classier shoe, you can opt to pick up the Era Wingtip (3,498 php). We’ve all had the Era at one point in our lives, but an all-leather wingtip version? Fancy. Not everyone can pull off black/white leather upper wingtips, but if you do, rock them with pride. Last on the list is the Zero Lo  (4,298 php) for the California line. The Zero has leather patches on the toe box and the pull tap to give contrast to the canvas and the vulc sole. There’s more tech under the hood than it may seem so best to try them out. With leather laces and steel eyelets, what’s not to like? You can pick up all these pairs at Sole Academy today.
