Pulling from the archives and celebrating our history, the Needlework Anaheim Factory Collection throws it back to the mid-1970s through the late 1980s, when Vans Needlework shoes were a popular phenomenon of the companys ability to create custom-made footwear for customers who brought in their own fabrics. Honoring the individualism and handicraft of Needlework art, the Needlework Anaheim Factory Authentic 44 DX uses a loose woven canvas similar to what you would find on a Needlework kit. Along with whimsical heritage screenprints, select embroidery, and a grid that encourages your own custom embroidery skills to flourish, this classic low top style uplifts the We started, you finished. . . concept, so that you can create, have fun, and make this style entirely your own. This lace-up shoe also includes upgraded Ortholite sockliners, higher glossed foxing tape, and cotton laces. Size 10.5
