Fresh from the latest collaboration with BILLY’S ENT, Vans is back with a new pack of its signature styles. The new pack consists of the four classic silhouettes — including the  Sk8-Hi and Era — all of which come wrapped in premium full-grain leather and animal print calf hair.

The Sk8-Hi features the addition of cheetah print calf hair on the lateral side of its hi-top. This is then finished with black leather quarter panels, white laces and a white leather Sidestripe. The Era silhouette also features an animal influence, with jaguar-printed calf hair across the heel and upper. For the last two styles in the pack — the Half Cab and Classic Slip-On — Vans moves away from the animal influence and reworks the famous checkerboard print in the calf hair material. The full pack is available from the Vans web store now.
