Sporty Cork Sneakers

These VANS Off the Wall 2014 Summer Shoes are Incredibly Lightweight

These VANS Off the Wall 2014 Summer collection features a pair of ultra lightweight sneakers cleverly made from all-natural cork board. These sleek sport sneakers are the skater alternative to ultra hip athletic shoes.

These VANS Off the Wall 2014 Summer sneakers are a drastic departure from the classic slip-on skater VANS sneakers. These prelow cork shoes happen to look a lot like Nike's popular Free athletic shoes with a similar thick white sole and minimalist design. However, these shoes are covered in a natural cork upper with fresh black eyelets, black and white stripped laces and a dapper fabric lining. The shoes guarantee a comfortable feel thanks to the sneakers' Ultracush HD soles. The cork upper ensures that these sneakers will get you noticed on the street.
