How about a little tactile for your Fall?  Vans X Needles has a sweet new special release featuring the Vans Slip-On Ox with some great details.  The upper is a nice mix of plush Velvet for the black model and crushed velvet for the purple and green models.  Finishing off each pair is a metal horse-bit tassel detail that gives the sneaker a bit of a high-brow nod and a definite dress up and down vibe.  This is a cool collabo for Vans for fans of the brand and regular footwear connoisseurs alike.  Available now at Nepenthes NYC @ 307 West 38th Street Storefront #10 New York, NY 10018 212.643.9540.
