The new Epoch Sport Pro LTD sneaker is constructed with a Duracap-reinforced upper, is crafted with a suede construction and accented with tumbled leather. It also feautres custom foxing tape with the original Osnaburg reinforcement from the 90s. Additionally, the laces and lining are finished with cotton, and the footbed has a removable Ultracush HD cushioning. The Vans x Quasi Epoch Sport Pro LTD will be available exclusively at select Vans Pro Skate locations beginning March 24.
