What ever happened to shoes being named after iconic sporting legends with names that were easy to remember? Vans Vault Cuerpo LX Pebbled Leather doesn’t exactly roll off the tongue, but the name is irrelevant once you see these things because you’re going to want to slip into them anyway. A premium pebbled leather upper (the tiny little bumps) is paired with a gum-style, vulcanised outsole by way of a stitched welt. Everyone needs a quality pair of black leather sneakers for those nights you’re feeling a little more GQ than usual and these will work quite nicely. They’ll also look just as good with jeans and shorts, but not jorts because you shouldn’t be wearing those anyway.
