For the upcoming 2011 Fall/Winter collection, Vans has designed a hybrid shoe for men named the Vans Pritchard, which combines the causal style of their classic skate shoe with the sophistication of a brogue. The Vans Pritchard is made using a variety of materials including oiled suede, regular suede and waxed canvas. The suede exterior is extremely smooth-looking and adds that flair of sophistication to the shoe's overall style and appearance.
The Vans Pritchard is available in a variety of neutral tones such as navy blue, beige, gray and black. This shoe is great for any man's fall or winter wardrobe as it can be easily paired with jeans, khakis or suits for a casual weekend look or polished appearance at the office. The shoe will be available for purchase as of June 1st.
