The Rick Owens “Vans” sneakers, usually officially referred to as the Vintage Sneaks or Strobe Vintage Sneaks, are a fashion sneaker in tribute to the old school of skate culture. Based on the common low-top shape of 1970s skate shoes, these sneakers are redesigned in terms of Rick Owens oversized proportions and high-quality fabrics.

These sneakers come in suede and have a more casual and outdated appearance than the regular leather shoes. They have the classic contrast in the side, stripe, and the heavy shark-tooth rubber sole, which makes them an ideal combination of nostalgic west coast and European dark luxury.

Product Details

Fabric and Material Information

Fabric Quality: Nice suede of high quality that is neither too thin nor too thick to keep the shape.
Surface texture: The surface is matte, non-reflective brushed suede that covers little scuffs.
Breathability: Linings are made of natural suede and leather and therefore give great airflow to keep your feet cool.
Vibe: The way the heavy suede is combined with a solid rubber sole makes the shoe luxurious to touch and heavy.
Softness: The suede models are softer when first worn, and therefore there is less break-in time than with a stiff leather item.

Styling & Use Guide

Outfit Combinations: Combine these with long socks and oversized shorts to get the skater look.
Casual Luxury: They can be worn perfectly with cropped trousers or Pusher pants so as to bring out the silhouette of the shoe.
Seasons: Suede works best during dry seasons such as spring, summer and early fall to maintain the suede in its best condition.
Layering Suggestions: Wear them to base a style with layered hoodies and long-line tees.

Care Instructions

Laundering: To clean up dust, always use a suede brush to brush them off: to keep the so-called nap of the fabric fresh.
Protection: Before you first wear, spray onto your suede a water repellent spray that is specially created to avoid stains.
Washing: Never machine wash. In the case of stains, a special suede eraser or a professional cleaner should be used.
Drying: When they get damp, allow them to dry under the sun without the use of heat. Stuff them with paper to retain the shape.
Storage: Store them in the dust bags given so that the suede does not fade or get dusty.
