The Liberty Vans 2013 Holiday Collection is Stained-Glass Inspired
Thomas Wade-West — October 2, 2013 — Fashion
English store Libberty London has partnered with Vans streetwear for the Liberty Vans 2013 Holiday Collection. The collection is featured in Sk8-Hi and Era models from the Vans staple collection.
These sneakers feature somewhat differing materials to their original models, including higher quality fabrics on the uppers -- blue suedes and higher quality stitched detailing. The Era version comes equipped with a speckled colorway with different heel and tongue accents; the Sk8-Hi version includes a stained-glass upper and burgundy Vans logo. Both versions include stark contrasts that make these models both vibrant and unique for this Fall.
Be sure to check out the full collection on the Vans website now. The collection will be dropping at certain retailers in both the UK and North America.
