Vans Vault 2012 Fall Era Horween LX

From a forthcoming range that will see premium iterations to classic silhouettes like the Mountain Mid, Zapato Del Barco, Trek Lo and more, Vans aligned with Chicago tannery Horween Leather to construct an encompassing collection that will include this Era Horween LX. Working closely with the nearly century-old leather maker, Vans enlisted the help of famed designer Taka Hayashi to rework a few of the skate brand’s mainstays with a luxury outdoorsman aesthetic. Buttery soft leather lines the toe and heel tab, which is then complimented by a pebble leather upper, contrasting vulcanized sole, metal eyelets and leather laces. Although little is known regarding this collection’s release, it will surely be available at select vault dealers this fall.
