Dior Homme releases their line up of sneakers for their Fall/Winter 2010 Collection, and it’s an exciting mix of revamped styles, and new ideas.

The Vans Fall/Winter 2010 Versa is a shoe that has been created with hardcore skateboarders in mind. The shoe will be available in with a few material choices: premium suede with canvas uppers, or oil suede with leather uppers. It will feature a slimmer profile, high-grade EVA midsole and a very tech-sounding ‘BoardFeel XD’ construction.
The shoe was designed to have the perfect look both on and off a skateboard, complete with a bottom that will deliver the grip, cushioning and performance every professional boarder seeks. Look for these to be released later this year.
