- Vans' Elderly Harris Tweed Loafer Is Overly Swagged Out
Vans is back with new Harris Tweed skate shoes, and they're even more dapper than the last pair.
About a year ago, the skateboarding brand dished out Harris Tweed Authentic sneakers. For Fall 2026, it's delivering an overly swagged-out skate loafer wrapped in the hand-spun, hand-dyed Scottish wool.
The Harris Tweed Loafer 53 Shoe also comes with jewels, dirtied-up soles, and, erm, a safety pin. It also comes with cushy animal-print insoles for added style and comfort.
Again, Vans has done Harris Tweed skate shoes before. But the latest hits different because it carries that "vintage" luxury streetwear feel like other recent releases (recall the Chanel-coded Old Skool "Souvenir" sneakers and its pearl-covered Authentic shoes).

And it keeps its traditional skate build, including the grippy waffle-patterned outsole. But let's be honest: these are far too classy and cool to thrash.

The Harris Tweed Loafer 53 Shoe is slated to drop on Vans' website on September 24 for $120. It'll be joined by a Harris Tweed Old Skool 36 and Classic Slip-On.
It's like your grandad's favorite shoes just got the hippest makeover by Vans.
