Sure a certain other footwear company has been lauded for their recent projects mixing up sneaker styles with dressy shoes, but you’ve gotta admit that the Vans approach to that sort of mash-up is a bit more seamless in its execution. Coming halfway between their most minimalist of skate shoes the Vans Era and a hard-bottom brown shoe is the Vans OTW Pritchard, a smart silhouette that only gets better with the tweed and leather treatment pictured here. There’s a catch though-you’ve gotta wait till Fall 2012 to get your hands on them. Until then hit the jump with us for the preview and let us know if you’re feeling the Vans OTW Pritchard in the comments below. Photos: glltn
