vintage vans style #59 era
brick suede black rubber scene
tan foxing & leather accents
made in usa circa 1986
new in box
US8/UK7-7.5
we have seen various modern bastardisations of the style #59 over the past 2 years that surprisingly look very cool & approach what the originals embodied. but life isn't about the way you look TO the world but the way you look AT the world! as such, the importance of look & feel are equally justified & i don't think vans will ever approach the feel of their made in usa precedent. you see a style #59 original is arguably the bees bollocks & the dogs kness & if you can score a pair in suede (originally style #595) then you got holy grail potential. take this brick suede #59 for example. not quite red, nor burgandy but a rich brick colourwaYne with all the trimmings; tan foxing, black rubber scene, pigskin collar & mustache, coordinated cord laces, pleather vamp tag & antique brass eyelets.
