Engineered Garments works in collaboration with Vault by Vans on a pack of laceless Era sneaker models for the season. It takes on the signature Vans Era skate sneaker and provides an effortless update. There are four colorways that are dropping - this features a beige and white design, black and white, white and white, and black on black.
The uppers boast a mismatched look, blending together canvas with leather and suede. A white eyelet is looped down the inner side of the sneakers for the asymmetric look. The rest of the shoes include the fabric tags that are found on the lateral side of the shoe, the motifs on the heels are made to match the base and are complete with UltraCush layered insoles.
