San Francisco’s Julien Stranger has been tearing up asphalt longer than many Sneaker News readers have been alive, and has been wearing Vans just about the whole time. Now, in a collaboration that’s long overdue, Julien gets his own Vans Syndicate release in a style befitting someone who’s seen and done it all. The Julien Stranger x Vans Syndicate Era Pro is an earthy two-toned design with a darker brown suede toe and heel giving way to a lighter perforated shade in between. These come with customized footbeds and bags for both laces and shoes, and you’ll find them available in limited numbers at retailers like Flatspot.
