Stained Glass Sneakers

The Liberty Vans 2013 Holiday Collection is Stained-Glass Inspired

— October 2, 2013 — Fashion
English store Libberty London has partnered with Vans streetwear for the Liberty Vans 2013 Holiday Collection. The collection is featured in Sk8-Hi and Era models from the Vans staple collection.

These sneakers feature somewhat differing materials to their original models, including higher quality fabrics on the uppers -- blue suedes and higher quality stitched detailing. The Era version comes equipped with a speckled colorway with different heel and tongue accents; the Sk8-Hi version includes a stained-glass upper and burgundy Vans logo. Both versions include stark contrasts that make these models both vibrant and unique for this Fall.
