Needles And Vault By Vans Reprise Their Slip-On With Animal Prints_Fashion at Your Feet

After a tracksuit-inspired 1460 with Doc Martens, Needles is preparing to team up with Vans Vault yet again, the two now retracing past releases as they further celebrate the horsebit loafer atop two brand new Slip-On colorways.

Eccentric as is the Japanese label’s signature, the pack highlights not only its metallic embellishments but also the newly applied animal patterns, a motif that is independently laid over top the left and right foot in mismatched fashion. The latter features a striking leopard, the pair opposite a somewhat simpler zebra, both sublimated along a luxe velvet base with a light and almost vintage-like print. Elsewhere, the aforementioned horsebit is clad in gold and silver across the brown and white options, respectively, affixed adjacent to purple-hued Vans branding that is then mimicked across the insole next to elegant “Needles” logos.

Grab a detailed look at both offerings here and expect to find them at select retailers come October 8th.

In other news, another Opening Ceremony Vans collaboration is in the works.
