Weatherized Heritage Versatile Footwear

Vans Introduces Two New Colorways of the MTE Crosspath

Vans introduces two new colorways of the all-terrain MTE Crosspath model. The versatile silhouette prepares for any environment, whether it is in nature or urban spaces. The MTE Crosspath perfectly balances style and function with inspiration from the brand's skateboarding heritage. The silhouette features a construction backed by technically advanced elements to ensure that it can tackle various terrains and weather.

The entire model is packed with performance components. The upper is constructed from entirely recycled PET and it is reinforced with abrasion-resistant panelling. It also uses a seamless RAPIDWELD construction and it is treated with a non-PFC DWR water-repelling finishing. This ensures that the silhouette remains breathable and lightweight whilst offering protection. The new colorways are joined by an exclusive apparel collection and are now available to shop.
