This series is featured in two distinct 'Leopard Camo' colorways, and borrows a midsole that would be very fit for running or jogging. The Vans OTW 2013 features a very minimalist running-inspired sneaker that boasts a sueded nubuck on the uppers. The sneaker is engineered with Vans' Ultracush HD outsole and a shock-absorbing Polyurethane foam mold that can be found on its [skate sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/authentichtvibram).
