Under The Palms

"A project that has seen countless well-executed silhouettes since its inception, the ongoing relationship between Japanese designer, Taka Hayashi and Vans Vault sees a few new iterations in the form of the TH Derby Trek LX. The duo, which aptly receives the “Vault” moniker for its heightened quality and limited distribution, arrives in two mature colorways that take on premium Horween leather uppers. A unique take on the traditional Derby footwear style, each pair is set atop a contrasting-colored, lugged outsole and is finished off with complementary metal eyelets, threaded laces and a supple interior leather lining. Understated footbed embroidery branding play into the collaborative that is as street ready as it is mountain ready. Look for availability is begin hitting select Vans Vault stockists beginning this August."

the blacks look ok, but i'll probably pass... a derby with a lug sole? c'mon.

Now this is something I can get into!
Just need to get a better shot of that sole

BTW, added shots to Horween thread.

I'm with you two. No profile shot, no proper look at the sole, none of that screams confidence, to me. Likely pass, but those uppers are proper.

Both colors for sale here (europe little expensive though)

Still think these are pretty cool.
Bummed they scrapped that light colorway though.
Certainly not feeling that $186 price tag.
