Vans introduce new footwear to its roster with the MTW Crosspath Mid sneakers. This is a chunky silhouette with a hiking-style base that blends elements of practicality. The mid-cut design also adds to the outdoor aesthetic and it focuses on comfort with the versatile build.
In terms of practicality, the shoe is water-repellent and is made from a blend of recycled mesh and soft matte textures for contrast. It is blended together with no-sew techniques for elevated defense to combat terrain and outdoor elements. Otherwise, the shoes also offer plenty of cushioned comfort -- this can be found in the form of the semi-padded collar with a plush tongue. The sneaker is even completed with a stocky base and grip-centric sole unit which has been infused with a sustainable foam.
