Vans Step it Up

There are few shoes that have been a staple in my wardrobe since I was 5 years old – classic black Chucks, some white Stan Smiths and a variety of plain or printed Vans Authentic Slip-Ons.  Now Vans have stepped up their game with a series of new finishes for the classic Slip-Ons;  the upgraded materials include suede, leather and wool, utilized across a range of six colorways.

Available soon at Vans stockists. And they are a steal at around $50.

Christian has been a cultural and style junkie since the age of 6; while most kids were swiping cookies, he was swiping his grandfathers' Patek Philippe. Raised to appreciate art, fashion,design and  literature (yeah, this one actually reads) by a single mother fondly called Jackie-O. Christian quickly went from childhood cultural capital thief to academia protégé. Referred to as the cat's meow by some, too clever by half by others, Christian eschewed the academic life and ran away to join the circus -the fashion circus. Several well-appointed positions later and a career on the rise would be most people's dream but it was time to say fuck off and start all over again.

This is Christian Dare Unedited.
