Vans' Next Ease-y Skate Shoe Is Dangerously Slick

Written by Morgan Smith in Sneakers

This is hands-down Vans' wildest Premium Authentic Ease sneaker yet.

Python-print leather completely swallows up the newest Authentic-based model, covering it in reptilian scales from the upper to the soles. Seriously.

The Ease keeps its incredibly supple tongue, which folds with, well, ease, along with other high-end touches like the waxed laces. It also keeps that general Authentic-ness.

Vans started out with mostly muted suede Authentic Ease sneakers. Lately, though, the brand has been experimenting with new designs while still keeping things calm-colored and luxe. Just recently, Vans introduced a black leather Ease, which made the model look dressier than ever.

Now, it's biting back with this snakeskin release. Still fancy, though.
