If you couldn't tell, the Vans Sk8-Hi "Fringe" are sneakers influenced by moccasins. Maybe it's too early to call, but when
the whole boat shoe thing finally dies out, will it be the moccasin's time to shine? The style has been hitting overseas already, with hard-to-find-in-the-States brands like
Visvim, but maybe it'll take a heavy hitter like Vans to bring mocs to the forefront. Then again, these fringed Sk8-His are
only available in Japan at the moment, and the black version looks more
faux-Rasta than Native American. We'll see.
