The fall-ready offerings comprise a black Opening Ceremony and Vans Play with Snakes on New s boasting a contrasting gum outsole, Vans‘ wave logo on the profiles in an exotic snakeskin print, and bold red “Hockey” branding on the tongues.

Over on the Skate Slip-On, Vans does it again Skate Authentic Hi has been lengthened into a high-top and sports a brown canvas colorway with red “Hockey” hits on the collar and snakeskin print liner.
