Vans Embellishes Authentic & Slip-On With Cherry Embroidery
A retro motif on classic silhouettes.




Vans is back with a bold spin on the classic Authentic and Slip-On silhouettes, embellishing them with bright red cherry motifs. This release follows a set of vintage-inspired Sk8-Hi LXs unveiled just a few days ago.
Both shoes come with a sleek black canvas base and subtle white accents for a clean look. Set against the monochromatic shades, the aforementioned motif takes the form of two cherries joined by a stem. The graphic is repeated throughout most of the uppers on both shoes: the pattern is seen on the forefoot of the Slip-On, while the Authentic shows more of the cherry details at the back. As a final note, the shoes come with white midsoles, thin black foxing and Vans’ classic red bumper logo, offsetting the vivid design of the uppers with a crisp foundation.
The Vans Authentic and Slip-On “Cherries” will be available at BILLY’s’ website on April 6 for $71 USD.
