Street style + vintage cool: Vans “Wingtip Era” sneakers

Posted on July 25, 2009 by

Vans new "wingtips era" sneakers
Vans has come out with a new line of "classic" shoes, cashing in on the retro sneaker fetish that seems to be all the rage. After hitting up the site, and surfing around the retro sneaker blogosphere (yes, this exists), I found a pair that I just had to have: the "Wingtip Era" two-tone sneakers.

The Wingtip Era is such a sweet combination of old skool sneaker and REALLY old skool spectator styling.  Perfect for, uh, lindy hopping in a skatepark or b-boying at a speakeasy. 

Retail: $80. Hipster envy: priceless.
