Retro sneakers have continued to prove their staying power throughout 2026, but as the year inches toward its close, winter weather could have you packing away your trainers in favor of something more robust.
Temperatures may be dropping, but cooler forecasts won't stop Vans from occupying a permanent spot in your footwear rotation, thanks to a winter-ready revision of its Premium Super Lowpro Trainer.

The latest version of the sleek, retro-inspired sneaker sees multiple material updates elevating the silhouette.
Subtle updates, like the upper being outfitted in a pebbled black leather, are paired with more noticeable changes, like the faux-fur trim on the collar that adds both aesthetic, Y2K-inspired flair and extra warmth.
Vans calls the fluffy new addition an Ushanka -inspired detail, referencing the traditional Russian winter fur cap.
Alongside the eye-catching collar, Vans has outfitted the Premium Super Lowpro Trainer with a puffed tongue for extra cushioning, a low-profile EVA midsole for all-day support, heritage "Serio" branding on the tongue, nodding to the shoe's history and sidestripe branding for quintessential Vans vibes.
The '80s-inspired sneaker maintains the interchangeable dual lace wrap feature, a modern update offering extra customization and detail.
While the standard premium version of the low-profile sneaker costs $95, the latest update rings in at $110, delivering extra flair for a reasonable price hike.
