Vans Japan has just released these premium vegetable-tanned leather sneakers. They chose the Chukka, and a modified wingtip version similar to an Authentic. Both utilize the same oiled leathers, as well as the green stained laces. Each also sit on top of a cupsole that can also be found on the Versa, and a few other newer models, which help lighten the overall weight of the shoe, and allow for some classy looking stitch work around the top of the sidewalls. These are a Japan-only release, and are now available thru Flauge.
