Vans Larkin

It might sit well with a contemporary audience, but the OTW Larkin's cap toe application and traditional styling doesn't wander too far from the Vans formula to the point where heritage is abandoned—in fact this silhouette is laden with the brand's archive looks. Squinting at them, with that curved side stitch, they even have a spot of the Lampin in there too, but crucially it's a well-priced, cup soled design that's built to last in premium materials.  A blue canvas upper, a slightly tonal suede toe mixes things here up nicely, whilst a pinstripe lining is put in for a good measure, all sitting on a crisp white cup sole construction. An OTW heel tab hangs proudly on the back of this release.
