NEEDLES Teases Trio of Luxe Velvet Vans Slip-Ons

In the vein of last year’s collaborative capsule release, NEEDLES and Vans have reunited for premium velvet Slip-Ons. This time, the Vault shoe sports a trio of plush, glossy velvet uppers, accented by gold bit detailing at the forefoot to recall luxe loafers. The green, blue and black iterations all sport black midsoles and matching sock liners, with co-branding appearing at the heel of each insole.

Take a closer look at each sneaker below and expect the Vans Slip-On “Velvet/Bitted” to hit NEPENTHES’s Japanese outposts on October 13, presumably arriving at NEPENTHES New York shortly after.

Meanwhile, fellow NEPENTHES family member Engineered Garments debuted two collaborative shows: adidas ULTRABOOST sneakers and HOKA ONE ONE “TOR ULTRA LOW.”
