style profile; vans style #72 lacey

the popularity of the boat shoe since last summer has defiantly reached its high water mark. the deluge of which then flowed over the foxing stripe, until reaching saturation point & officially drowning. we will no doubt continue however to see inappropriate appropriation of appropriations until the flogged horse is reincarnated.... probably as a boat shoe. before it does however let's profile the original incarnation which inspired the ubiquitous vans zapato del barco. vans style #72 is essentially a style #98 slip-on with 360 degree lacing stystem which we affectionately coined the reacharound. profiled last year, the reacharound is purely cosmetic, however does add enjoyment. because of this, combined with all the trimmings of made in usa vulcanised vans, the lacy will always maintain it's status as a classic in our eyes.

style profile- the reacharound

the general direction in which footwear styling has trended of late from plimsols to deck shoes to boat shoes has led us to the ubiquitous upper detail that is.... the reacharound. does fashioning 360 degree lacing actually provide a true fit? i think otherwise however that.... it's a bit of a wank! let's trend away from the uninspired preppy 1950's nautical attire sub(marine)culture of boat shoes & pin rolling chino's. but before we do.... let's feature some you may like.
