It only debuted six months ago, but already the Low Profile Era has become one of Vans’ top Era variants. The Vans California LPE returns today with a look in line with Off the Wall’s 2012 trademark, adding a multicolor weave in between black suede on the heel and toe. This style derived from traditional Guatemalan loomworks is throwback to classic releases and a reminder that Vans mastered the all-over print before many brands even existed, and this Guate Stripe LPE is available now at shops like Premier.

The Vans Era is no stranger to single-colored suede makeups, but this new pack for the holiday season adds a special twist you’ll have to use your imagination to ‘see’. That’s because while a vague texture is indeed visible on grey, olive and burgundy colorups, you’ll have to touch them for yourself to appreciate what “micro weave textured suede” really means. This unique abrasion-resistant finish is a nice touch along with subtle contrasts including woven two-toned trail laces, and they’ll be available soon from Vans California retailers.

Vans beat every other sneaker brand to the boat shoe, and though Michael Jordan and Tinker Hatfield might have something to say about it, they were the first to embrace wingtip styling on their classics as well.
