Vans Puts a Broken-In Finish on the Dodgers' October Footwear

Vans has two Dodgers sneakers coming for Los Angeles fans who dress for the ballpark: a Sk8-Hi and an Era, both with a worn-in, deliberately roughed-up finish. They release during the divisional round of the postseason, which gives the city something new to wear while the team plays for another shot at the World Series. The Sk8-Hi is the high-top and the Era is the low-cut, so fans can pick either silhouette with the same weathered look. Buying brand-new shoes that already look well-loved is an odd idea in the best way, and it works well in the stands in October.
