Vans is helping consumers maintain their winter aesthetic even after the season comes to an end with an updated iteration of the Authentic and Slip-on shoes.
The classic sneakers have been re-imagined to feature a furry facade that's both elegant and adorable. To make for a more seasonally appropriate shoe, both items arrive in spring-ready colorways of pastel purple and subtle yellow. The slip-ons maintain Vans' checkerboard aesthetic, while the Authentics feature a more tonal look. Both shoes are complete with the brand's logo running along the mid-sole.
Perfect to wear during the transitional seasons, these shoes are sure to be a perfect addition to anyone's sneaker rotation. Both silhouettes are available in-store and online.
