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.

As of now, the python Premium Authentic Ease sneaker is available on Vans' website for $100.
