I can’t walk into a vans slip ons sale shop without being drawn like a moth to light to anything that’s made of velvet, covered in glitter or embellished in sequins. I own a pair of metallic silver trousers that make me look the tin man and these are wheeled out every year for approximately six weeks, until they’re locked away again on New Year’s Day. It’s just how it is. And you know who knows what’s up? Vans. Vans know what’s up. For they’ve launched a brand new velvet collection just in time for the most wonderful/metallic/glittery time of the year – it features velvet versions of the old skool, sk8 hi and slip-ons and well as caps and bags. Here are our fave pieces.
All three vans slip ons white pairs feature the distinct luxe-streetwear style that has propelled Fear of God and Lorenzo to the top of the game. The Vans x Fear Of God sneaker is a designer take on the Style 147, and comes in striking red, black, and white colorways. It features a mixed suede and canvas upper, metal “Fear of God” logo hit on the strap, and a drop-in sockliner.
For all the logo lovers, there is a duo of vans slip ons leather x F.O.G. (that’s Lorenzo’s affordable, Cool Teen™ approved sub-label) sneakers, which includes mid-top and low-top styles. Both pairs feature an inverted Fear Of God logo print and are made of a corduroy, canvas and suede with a glossy outsole. Between the entire collection, there is a little something for everyone: minimalists will dig the subtler slip-on, while loud dressers can cop the text-covered kicks.
We all know vans slip ons uk is the go-to brand for fuss-free, classic sneakers. Its trademark silhouettes and huge range of plain and patterned uppers has ensured that the brand has remained timeless and relevant for over 50 years. From satin embroidered Slip-Ons to cherry-topped Old Skools, we thought we’d seen it all but the Vans Lirika Slip On is the opulent sneaker of our dreams.
The iconic checkerboard upper and clean white midsole remain the same but the canvas is topped with glitzy sequins and gems in a beautiful floral arrangement. If the embellishment looks familiar, its because vans slip ons mens collaborated with NY-based designer Lirika Matoshi, whose delicately embellished tights and socks have taken Instagram by storm.
