The Vans denim collection for spring 2013 is dope. The sensational series is composed of classic Vans lace-up low-riders and two-tone high-tops. The color combinations are wicked and the collection is brazen and ideal for a mad skate session.
The latest collection explores several variations of denim treatments. The highlight of the skate shoe series is the acid wash technique used on the slip-on lace-ups. The feel is retro and 90s-inspired. Other fantastic finds include the suede two-toned versions that combine standard suede construction with punchy quarter panels of denim. Theses kicks are crisp, clean and revive the grunge vibe.
The Vans denim collection for spring 2013 is a nostalgic homage that will be brought to life at local skate parks.
