Vans continues to prepare for adventurous environments with a new range of its MTW Crosspath sneaker model, which is arguably the brand's most advanced trail silhouette. It is seen in both low and mid-cut structures and is coated with elements that prepare for various terrains.
This time around, the shoes are decorated with an outdoors look with a protective upper and water-repellent finish without compromising their breathability at the base. The sole unit is chunky and delivers traction. Additionally, Vans wraps the hiking silhouette with classic skate shoe technicalities as well. It comes in an array of colorways including blue, purple, black, teal, grey, and chocolate brown. Launching officially today, there are six options for the Crosspath.
