Vans' Stitched-Up "Wallabee" Skate Shoe Is (Sew) Good
Vans is back experimenting with its SF Moc Low shoe, a.k.a. the "Vans Wallabees." This time, it's introducing a new "Crafted" version of the moccasin-style model.
The SF Moc Low Crafted shoes feature the usual velvety, Wallabee-style uppers, with fresh stitching. Specifically, Vans has sewn on the Sidestripe and covered the toe box with a bunch of small cross stitches. It gives the Vans model a more handcrafted feel while still maintaining that sophisticated moc look.
Plus, the Crafted Mocs come in two nice colorways: black and off-white (officially known as "Turtledove White"). They're quiet and stylish enough while also letting the stitches have their moment.
I prefer the classic versions of the Moc, which offer a cleaner look (similar to the Authentic Ease). That said, the "Crafted" versions aren't bad. Honestly, if you're looking for a more artful moc, these might be your steez.
The Premium SF Moc Low Crafted shoes are now available on Vans Canada's website for CAD 160, which is around $114 at current exchange rates.
