Ripple Sole Floral Canvas Slip Ons
Dries Van Noten Floral Slip Ons. DVN's took a slightly modified rendition of a classic mens item, adding a little flair and eccentricity, slimming the profile, resulting in a clean, suave piece of footwear. In recent seasons DVN has had a rather small obsession with florals, prints, beads and extravagant embroideries. Gator sole, curved toe, canvas twill upper and fully leather lined. Back graphic is different per shoe but pairs nicely. 8/10 condition, there are some loose threads along the binding. Creases. Size 42 but fits somewhere between a US9.5-10.$235
