Our choice for winter shoes just got a whole lot bigger as Vans announces an expanded Mountain Edition footwear collection which now include shoes from the Classics, California, and Surf collections.
Vans Classics returns with eight weatherized color ways including the Era MTE, Sk8-Hi MTE and introducing the Old Skool MTE. The Era MTE surfaces in two earth-toned variations – Castlerock/Tobacco Brown and Forest Night/Tobacco Brown – outfitted in pig suede, leather and wool. The Old Skool MTE and Sk8-Hi MTE exhibit the same material mix across Black/Tobacco and Decadent Chocolate/Tobacco Brown color-ups. Additionally, the Sk8-Hi MTE rounds out the Classics collection with two women-specific styles in Black and Tan featuring knitted geometric trim accents.
So much to choose from. And to think we were happy with our Jamie Lynn Old Skools. For the official word from Vans including pricesVans’ Innovative Mountain Edition Footwear Collection Expands for Holiday 2014
Weatherized Product Offering Presents New Models and Colorways
Vans, the original action sports brand, expands its range of innovative Mountain Edition Footwear for holiday 2014. Debuting in fall with a small, six-piece assortment of upgraded Vans Classics models, the holiday offering of Mountain Edition product grows with additional styles from the Vans California Collection and Vans Surf categories. Designed for the elements, Vans Mountain Edition Footwear upgrades the build of each silhouette from the ground up. Starting at the original waffle sole, the mold is reversed and raised to create an extended lug outsole maximum grip in wet terrains and snow. Above the outsole and beneath the sockliner, a heat retention layer is paired with thermal materials to keep feet dry and warm. Scotchgard™-treated uppers put the finishing touches on the advanced designs, repelling liquid and moisture from the surface areas.
