The latest pair of shoes to take on the reptilian theme is the In4mation x Vans Chukka Low ‘Rattles’ which will bring an air of exoticness to streetwear.
Perhaps what sets the In4mation x Vans Chukka Low ‘Rattles’ sneakers apart is that the pattern actually stays true to the reptile. Most uppers are usually decked in a vibrant hue, but this model goes with the natural clean-cut look. Contrasting the snakeskin pattern is the white sole and laces which adds a bit of vibrancy to the tone of the design. As a nod to the theme, both insoles feature an image of the rattlesnake.
These sneakers are extremely limited in number with only 200 available. It'll be released on January 13 2012, In4mation's new retail/gallery space called The Human Imagination.
