After the Duck sneaker, another highlight of the Vans California Fall 2012 collection is once again a model that tries something new (for Vans anyway) on the toe boe. This style remixes the Vans 106 or Chukka Low, splitting the seam right down the centre for something along the lines of a Clarks Desert Trek. Rough out suede makes way for a leather heel patch, done in a contrasting color. Hitting this fall.
