NICENESS EX. LEATHER SLIP ON SHOES "VAN"

A pair of exclusive leather shoes from NICENESS arrived at the perfect time.

The VAN slip-on shoes, released in the 24AW season, were crafted using “Châteaubriand,” the finest box calfskin from the French tannery Du Puy.

Referencing the skate shoes born in the 1970s and hailed as timeless classics, the VAN was crafted as a dress shoe.

Even with the previously released CHET basket shoes, only NICENESS could come up with the idea of making leather shoes based on sneakers.

While there are many slip-on shoes out there, I can confidently say that no other shoes combine the appeal of both “skate culture and dress shoes.”

They are truly one-of-a-kind shoes that can be styled with a wide range of outfits, from dress pants to Dickies-style trousers.

The upper uses elastic, making it easy to fit the foot.

Since these are slip-on shoes, we recommend choosing a true-to-size fit.

For that reason, socks are an important item.

The dress socks we sourced to pair with these slip-ons are cotton ribbed dress socks from the prestigious brand Pan Cerea.

Knitted with fine cotton, these socks are incredibly smooth and pair perfectly with slip-on shoes.
The sock sizes are approximately S for 24–26 cm and M for 26–28 cm.

The outsole is single leather, so you can wear them as they are, add a steel toe cap, or attach rubber soles for a sneaker-like look.

Although they are leather shoes, given the background of the VAN, you can wear them hard to develop a unique patina and enjoy styling them with street-inspired outfits.

For sizing reference, I wear an 8 in ALDEN, 41.5 in Le Yuccas, and 27–27.5 cm in New Balance sneakers, and these shoes fit perfectly in size 8.
