Vans has once again partnered up with Italian shoemaker Diemme, to bring to us an ultra-luxurious rendition of one of the most iconic Vans shoes of all time, the Era. As with the previous Diemme Vans, they’ve named these the Montebelluna, adding the “Era LX” to the end of it. Hand-made in Italy, two colorways are being offered up, in different leathers, the first being the yellow rendition in an all suede material, and a bordeaux colorway, a deep red, almost being mistaken for black, in a full-grain premium leather mockup. The familiar Diemme cupsole has been utilized on these as well, to help them last awhile longer, as should be expected with any shoe reaching the $300 mark! Custom leather footbeds with proper branding round off the insides, and the exterior’s are finished off nicely with an Italian flag tag sewn into the heel panel. Look for both the Yellow and Bordeaux models now through Bows & Arrows.
