Vans' Stitched-Up "Wallabee" Skate Shoe Is (Sew) Good

Double Tap to ZoomSneakersVans' Wallabee-Flavored SF Moc Low Gets CraftyVans 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. They are. Honestly, if you're looking for a more artful approach to the model, these might be your steez.Your Highsnobiety privacy settings have blocked this Instagram post.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.Highsnobiety has affiliate marketing partnerships, which means we may receive a commission from your purchase.
