Vans Vault Akat's

I happened to find these new Vans Valut "Akat's" somewhat interesting. I think for a reasonable $130... you can't go wrong. I feel that they are some what predictable, in the way that this native/aboriginal vibe seems to be a micro-trend in the indie community. But just as much as this shallow trendiness might take away from this shoe, it also takes on the feel of an instant classic. At the same time however, it's something rather unpredictable as well, as I would never imagine Vans taking such a brave dive. I can imagine people hating these. But I love them.
