I'm still confused as to whether the name 'Snake Authentic' means that they're made of real snake-skin, or if the usage of the words "snakeskin print" are hinting that no, it isn't real snake-skin but, well, ink print.
Now for starters, I love Vans' shoes. They're the bomb these days, and if you're a cool kid, you're either rollin' with these or Jordans. (Or whatever basketball shoes the ghetto kids at school have these days. I prefer skate shoes so I wouldn't know.) I'm looking into getting new shoes (my previous pair have reached their expiration date a little early, if you know what I mean) and I've come across these. I love Vans; I love the way these look, plus if it's fake, I have one extra way of sporting my snake love. (provided a gullible someone doesn't interpret it as promoting actual snake skinning)
However, for obvious reasons, I wouldn't wear any snake skin that is hunted and exported out of anywhere. It's against my morals to kill any animal just so you can look pretty - especially my favorite animals. It isn't conservational either.
So, before I make any purchases, I'm wanting to know if a reticulated python died to cover my feat or if it's just ink I'm wearing. Nobody make any quick assumptions either- we're talking about a high school teen and shoes here so this is some srs bsns. ಠ_ಠ
