Vans Introduces the Formal Vans 2 Eyelet Footwear Model
Vans introduces a new silhouette in the form of the Vans 2 Eyelet model, which transforms the skate sneaker into a more formal boat shoe. At the top of the silhouette is a classic boat shoe adorned with Vans branding followed by 2 eyelet accents and the looping goes around the shoe's 'deck.'
Vans also adds the traditional vulcanized rubber sole unit at the base of the shoe to ensure it is skate-ready with a flexible and strong board feel. The Vans 2 Eyelet is tested by HOUYHHNM as the fashion magazine celebrates its 20th anniversary. This celebration features two colorways of the silhouette kicking off with the exotic reptilian textural finish and hairy toe boxes. It will be available to shop officially on October 26th.
