Vans’ patched appliques and stitched on swatches of contrasting tones have sent them down a rabbit hole of inventive motifs, now donning the leather Slip-On with an overt patch along the toebox of a split color scheme. Doing away with the usual tone or material plays, the Anaheim-based label is opting for design more involved, using different techniques to reinvigorate once simple models like their laceless classic. Three schemes come hit with that mindset, one of a Pink/White, one a Gold/White, and the other a Black/White done up in symmetrical contrast à la Harvey Dent. Along the separating seam is woven partition of their iconic checkerboard print, adding a bit of heritage into an offering that subverts all expectations. If you’re interested in picking up a pair of these premium iterations, both the Gold and Black are currently available at the stores below for a retail of $70 USD.
