Vans has been on the grind this month. Recently, they’ve brought back the highly celebrated Pearlized pack of the Vans Old Skool 36, shown off a K-POP Demon Hunters collab, and revealed the first Vansza collection with the brand’s first-ever artistic director, SZA.
Now, the SoCal skate brand is looking to get down to business with its Harris Tweed collection. The handwoven Scottish cloth is popping up across a trio of silhouettes, including the Old Skool 36, the Classic Slip-On, and the ultimate mix of business and pleasure, the Vans Premium Loafer 53.
Vans Premium Loafer 53 Harris Tweed Details
Released last year, the model capitalizes on the growing sneaker-loafer trend in the footwear industry while keeping Vans’ skate-focused design ethos at its core. The Vans Premium Loafer 53 features a standard loafer construction on the upper, with a distinctive moc toe build. Within that U-shaped toe and tongue is a blue-based plaid pattern, while the toe features a more olive tone, and the heel and side panels feature a myriad of shades to really play up the patchwork vibe.
The loafer strap crossing the tongue can be customized with a number of removable metal charms, including a set of spikes and a bobby pin. Stud detailing on the tongue strap and ankle helps to tie it into the aforementioned Pearlized Pack while adding a bit of flair to the professorial pair. A pre-scuffed sole unit featuring the brand’s signature vulcanized Vans PopCush waffle sole underfoot completes the look.
