Are old-fashioned sneaker laces going the way of the dodo? Probably not, but you might think that at first glance given the countless number of drops we’ve seen with the rounded boot-lace look this season. Vans picks up the look for the Vans Authentic, dropping a new range of this iconic shoe for the Holiday ’11 season. The laces aren’t the only thing special here, as the uppers are constructed using a tough ten ounce canvas, pretty much making these as beefy as they can get without abandoning the original slim look. The collection keeps it under the radar as far as colors used, letting the material selection be the star of the show here. Check out the detailed photos we’ve got after the jump and be on the lookout for them at your local Vans retailer. via FreshNGood
