Vans Era Half Moon Via BILLY's

Tokyo shoe supplier BILLY'S is valuable because of the exclusive sneaker releases the store receives. Brands like adidas, New Balance, and Saucony have dropped unique footwear at the Japanese store.

This time, Vans' classic Era silhouette is granted special treatment at BILLY's. Remixed as the Era Half Moon silhouette, the shoe's forefoot features a cap toe, similar to Keen or Jack Purcell, that extends beyond the outsole's white vulcanized rubber. Suede covers the upper, which comes in black, white, red, and blue color options.

Shop the Vans Era Half Moon beginning February 11 for ¥9,000 JPY, or approximately $74 USD, at BILLY'S.
