The Vans x 2nd Magazine Loafer Sneaker has been unveiled as the latest collaboration between the two brands that will offer wearers with a style that's decidedly chic yet comfortable.
The shoe is crafted with black cordovan leather from the Chicago-based leather tannery Horween, which promises to deliver an exceptional shine for wearers to appreciate. The lower exterior section of the shoe is characterized by its signature Vans rubber sole that will add enhanced durability and comfort, while also helping to add visual distinction between the areas on the footwear style.
The Vans x 2nd Magazine Loafer Sneaker is only available via the 2nd Magazine website through the end of January at a cost of ¥100,000 JPY. Each pair will be made-to-order with shipments starting in April 2020.
