The Lupe Fiasco Vans OTW Stovepipe are kicks that you may not expect from the Grammy rapper who is well-versed in skater culture. Lupe Fiasco partnered with Vans beforehand creating a line of solid OTW minimalist sneakers. This time the rapper went with a little more pattern, mixing bright Native tribal patterns with a stark black background.
The footwear contains a canvas tongue, which holds most of the pattern. The rest of the dark exterior is crafted out of leather with a rubber midsole. The under sole is a bright golden yellow. The Lupe Fiasco Vans OTW Stovepipe shoes come with a drawstring backpack covered in the same eye-catching patterns found on the sneakers. When you open the solid black box they are packaged in, you'll be surprised with dizzying tribal print.
