Vans introduces a new tonal iteration of the signature Acer Mesh Ni sneaker model with a neutral option of Desert [Camo](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dark-camo-colorway). The shoe is detailed with the pattern across the entire upper and the low-cut silhouette with contrast at the laces and the tongue section.

The upper section of the shoe is made using a mesh material for breathability at the base before [canvas overlays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/canvas-pack) makes its way onto the shoe. It is then decorated with cream hues throughout the tongue and the mid-foot section and the rest is marked with brown, beige, and a dusty olive green to come together and create the [Desert Camo print](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dark-camo-sneaker). This covers the heels, the mid-foot, and the toe boxes.
