Washed-Out Beachy Laceless Shoes

Vault by Vans and NOAH Join on the Slip-On Silhouette

NOAH works in collaboration with Vault by Vans on a new set of footwear designed for the warmer seasons of the year -- this time around, the duo highlight the Slip-On silhouette. The upcoming capsule features a color palette of black, green, blue, and red.

Notably, all of these are designed in a suede material complete with a wash that provides a worn-in look. It is marked with a touch of tonal contrast arriving at the stitching accents and it continues along with the laceless tongue. The lateral side of the shoes is marked with a white Vans fabric tag. Inside the shoe, there is a co-branded detail and it all rests on top of a classic rubber sole unit foundation.
