References: highsnobiety
Vans adds another classic sneaker to its roster with the latest Erap shoe. It boasts a hybrid design that draws elements from the iconic Era and the Slip-On silhouette. The Erap has a chunky structure with a clean theme, resting low and prepared for the skate park.
At the forefoot, the shoes are enclosed by a lacing structure that is paired together with the sleek slip-on form backed by the elasticated gore panel. This way, it can be adjusted to have a more secure fit, but also allow wearers to slip into it easily. The most notable addition to the design is that the brand launched a range of bright colorway options including primary toned checkerboard, or single-tone blue and beige.
