Vans has always emphasized versatility in its footwear, a principle that’s clearly embodied in the MTE Crosspath model. This all-terrain sneaker debuted in October and is designed to transition seamlessly from skateparks to surf spots, making it a practical choice for adventurers. Now, Vans has introduced two new colorways: a striking burnt orange and a clean all-white option. The upper construction is made from 100% recycled PET, ensuring durability with features like abrasion-resistant paneling and a non-PFC DWR water-repellent coating. Notably, the midsole includes USDA-Certified Biobased EVA foam derived from plants, and an impressive 31% of the rubber utilized in the outsole comes from sustainable sources. Vans Surf team riders Chelsea Woody, Grant Noble, and Pua DeSoto showcase these fresh styles in a vibrant lookbook aimed at California’s laid-back lifestyle. Don’t miss the chance to grab a pair when they drop on Vans’ official website on January 9.
