If you’re an unconditional fan of Vans, then you’ll surely love its new Autumn Winter collection 2015! You’ll find the classic Authentic and Old Skool models with new and interesting prints, perfect to be in fashion, and also with original and fun details that make them absolutely irresistible. After reading today’s post, I’m sure that you’ll be completely surrendered!
If you like to be comfortable and to have a more casual look, then you must already know that there’s nothing better than Vans sneakers. And you’ll also always be fashionable thanks to their youthful and urban style, so don’t be fooled by its age. Even though it already exists for over 45 years, its shoes are always up-to-date of the latest trends! And that’s even clearer when you see its new Autumn / Winter collection. Prints, platforms, slip-on, metallized colours and even the novelty of the zipper… what more can you ask for? And, of course, you can find all these details in two of its more popular models: Authentic and Old Skool.
Do you know which the differences between the two are? Well, Authentic sneakers were the first ones created by this brand and are characterized for their basic and simple design, with laces. On the other hand, the Old Skool usually have their collar padded and their classic Sidestripe. And it’s in these two models that we’ll focus on today’s EscapeShoes post, so it’ll be divided in the following manner:
- New prints
- New details
In each one of these sections you’ll see an Authentic and an Old Skool model. The difference is that on the first part these sneakers keep their classic designs, only presenting new prints, while on the second half, they present new details, slightly altering their designs and making them even more innovative. This must already have piqued your interest, right? So, let’s begin!
New prints
Perhaps you remember a post of ours about Vans and prints, where we mentioned that prints are a trend that never goes out of fashion. Well, that’s still true and this American brand knows it! It’s always a good way to add a little bit of colour to your look and thus to make you stand out from the crowd. And Vans always created fun and original prints, and in this season that’s no exception! Look at these two different prints and tell us which one you like the most:
The Authentic Vintage Floral Graphite present the traditional floral print, which will always be one of the biggest trends. Contrarily to what we saw previously from this brand, their print presents flowers in a more discreet shade of pale pink and they’re not overlapped, thus creating some spaces between in each in dark grey, which is the colour of their background. Did you think that it was black? Well, this colour can be deceiving, but when you see them up close, you’ll realize that they’re in fact dark grey. These Vans sneakers are ideal for those that like to feel feminine, but also prefer shoes that match with everything!
On the other hand, the Old Skool Cosmic Cloud Black have a more modern print of an interstellar background, which mixes shades of magenta, red, purple and salmon with small white dots, symbolizing the stars. You’ll feel like you’re in an intergalactic journey every time you wear these sneakers! And you must have already noticed what is over this print, right? It’s the sidestripe, made of white leather for a perfect combination. The most interesting thing is that this print is not replicated in the same way on each side, not even between the two feet, thus making it unique and special.
New details
Now we go to the models that are based on the previous designs, but add certain details that make them different and innovative. These details may refer to several things, but will you be able to guess the specific details on the following sneakers that make them utterly distinctive of everything that we have, or had, available at EscapeShoes? Let’s take a look….
Then, did you guess? For example, regarding the Authentic Platform Metallic Snake Pink, what is the detail that distinguishes them from the rest? Their platform? Well, you’re wrong! It’s true that platform sneakers are something relatively new for Vans, but it has already started to include them since last year. Their differentiating is in fact their metallized pink leather, and not only because of the colour. You must have already noticed that it presents a pattern of scales, similar to snake skin, but, even so, it has a soft and velvety touch. We’re sure that if you wear them, you’ll be the centre of attention!
On the second image, I believe that it’s pretty obvious what is the detail that distinguishes these Old Skool Zip Marble Suede Khaki. Of course it’s their metallic golden zipper! In addition of matching really well with their spotted suede in shades of grey, it’s very practical and perfect for those that have a busier routine. Do you want to know why? It’s because with this zipper, you only have to tie the shoelaces once! So, each time you want to wear these sneakers, you just need to open the zipper. Do you see how you’ll never have to worry about rushing to tie the laces in the morning? It’s absolutely fantastic!
From all these models that we showed you, which one would you choose? Do you prefer more classic designs, but with fun prints, or something more innovative and unique? What is clear is that each one of these is ideal to walk around town and to have your feet well-rested, even at the end of a chaotic day.
Therefore, what are you waiting for? Buy your favourite Vans online at EscapeShoes. And remember that we also have other different models. So, it’s meaningless to resist!
