Vans Kids Fall 2013 Animal Slip-Ons - Last year, Vans released a few pairs of kid-sized slip-ons featuring smiling or snarling animal faces. There was a shark, a fish, a monkey, a panda, a smirking pink leopard and quite few more. For Fall 2013, Vans  will be adding a few wild beasts to their lil zoo. A lion, a wolf, a badger and a scary monster that looks like Gossamer from the Looney Tunes, will be featured on tiny slip-ons available sometime around September (we assume).
