Vans is looking to take over a whole new type of board: The boardroom.

The tassel-heavy leather Skate Loafer is a chocolate take on one of Vans' fastest-growing style genres: Business Casual. From Oreo colorblocked slip-ons to elegant leather stunners, Vans is going corporate — in a cool way.

For all intents and purposes, SFW styling exists on the opposite end of Vans' established fashion profile.

Business is buttoned up, and Vans is categorically not. But as of late, Vans has been getting into its boardroom bag with a bevy of corporate-chic sneakers that could upgrade just about any office-ready wardrobe.

This take on the trend wears a Classic loafer design with a braided upper strip and two leather tassels that give the sneaker some added corporate weight. Big shot energy, if you will.

Naturally, Vans has to keep some shred-ready goodness in toe with its signature waffle-sole outsole pattern for reliable grip, vulcanized sole for superior board feel, and Popcush insoles for all-day comfort on and off the board.

More than just reflecting Vans' range, the braided tassel leather loafer shows the skatehouse's propensity for adaptation. Vans is adapting to times that increasingly demand more and more of sneakers in this modern hybrid shoe era. Vans going C-Suite is really just a sign of the times.
