Vans continues to assert its position in the ever popular patterned lowtops niche, offering a fresh take on a motif most recently issued on this particular model as a Japanese exclusive a bit over two years ago. These black toed Vans Eras are a bit calmer by comparison to their fur-uppered predecessors, but the leopard print canvas build on these may ultimately prove easier to maintain. Add to the fact that you simply can’t get your hands on those Japan joints and these become all the more enticing as an affordable way to round out your animal print rotation, now available at retailers like Eleven.
