They say:
To accompany their collaborative snowboard boot, Vans and Airblaster got together on a water resistant Era. The “Stay Wild” Era features an all-black upper with a bright pink top eyelet and teal lining alongside Airblaster logo placements. Perfect for those slushy days in the parking lot. Now available at Vans snowboarding retailers.
I say:
Waterproof Vans? Yes. I totally love the idea but guys the execution is awful. Honestly just look at it, flat, long, narrow just awful. Vans can you do this again but in an authentic this time instead of an era? Oh and do something about the profile would you. Thanks.

Are you sure it’s not just the angle that makes the shoe shape look a bit odd? Pretty sure it’d be the same mold of a regular vans shoe with different materials.

It is where they are manufactured. I havn’t bought a good pair of vans in years… I think it is the difference between China and Malaysia or something?
Either way they don’t look nearly as good as they used to.
Perhaps another victim of cost cutting?
