Vans' Suede Mary Jane Is a Deliciously Premium Skate Shoe
How to make Vans' Mary Jane skate shoes better? Give them a luscious suede makeover.
After slick leather versions, the latest Vans Premium Mary Jane sneakers arrive with sumptuous suede uppers, once again taking the classic, skate-ready Style 93 shoe design to luxe levels suitable for Vans' higher-end imprint.
What's more, the newest Vans Mary Janes come in soothing "Harvest Gold" and "Chocolate Plum" colorways which, when paired with the creamy soles, give the already classic shoes a vintage-ish look.
The suave Mary Jane skate shoes joins a growing collection of stylish modern Vans sneakers. The California brand also recently crafted Carhartt-level Authentic shoes and even classy skate loafers that look almost too sophisticated for shredding ollies and kickflips (and lack the laces necessary to hold the foot in place).
But if you decide to bring Vans' suede Mary Janes to the next session, at least you'll look good while practicing your ground game.
Vans is clearly in good company with its sumptuous new skate shoe offering as well.
Luxury labels like Bottega Veneta and LOEWE are all diving into the skate shoe silhouette scene, serving up low-cut sneakers with very familiar-looking uppers that clearly channel the vibe of the world's most famous skate brand.
Not that Vans is resting on its laurels, clearly, but there's never been a better time to step up its game.
These new Mary Jane shoes are actually a beefed-up iteration of the original strapped-up Vans sneakers, made all the more better by the luxe materials.
The rich suede Vans Premium Mary Jane is now available on the brand's website for $95, alongside an additional "Spa Blue" colorway.
The "Harvest Gold" and "Chocolate Plum" colorways will also be heading overseas, dropping exclusively at Billy's in Japan.
