The 'Hiking' pack of leather Vans was made to offer consumers a high-top that's both rugged and refined at the same time. The sneakers are available in three different colorways -- with white, black and navy being the options.
Each of these colors takes over the entirety of the upper, carrying through even to the laces. The sole of the sneakers contrasts this however, with a thick beige rubber that complements it well. A colorful accessory on the heels does this too, with a knot of hiking rope dangling down. This appears in red on the black colorway, yellow on the navy and white on the all-white version.
Stitched designs in the uppers of the leather Vans offer more depth as well, making for a sneaker series that's versatile for just about any occasion.
