BILLY's Tokyo Sources Bold Leopard Prints for Exclusive Vans Release
Tweaking retro silhouettes.
Following its previous Vans exlcusives, Japanese footwear retailer BILLY’s Tokyo has prepped another round of leopard-clad Vans exclusives. Part of the Anaheim Factory lineup, two silhoeuttes are featured — the SID DX and Style 53 DX.
The former comes with a sleek mold, with bold leopard prints covering all of the uppers. Flat white laces contrast the busy patterns, while Vans’ old circular logo has been embroidered at the sides. To match all the white highlights, the uppers sit above a crisp midsole, detailed with two black lines and Vans’ heel logo stamped at the back. The Style 53 DX sees a bulkier shape, bearing a mold close to that of a penny loafer.
This iteration sees a slip-on fit, secured by a thin band that arches over the tongue. Additionally, thin white top-stitching appears throughout the uppers to match the clean midsole below. As a final note, its outsole comes fully treaded in the color brown.
The BILLY’s exclusive Vans SID DX and Style 53 DX will be available on November 23 at billys-tokyo.net for $111 and $96 USD, respectively.
Elsewhere, Vans rejoined Coutié for the Old Skool “Nightmare Society” collection.
