The Meaning Behind the Wings and Sidestripe Design Wingtip: A term used to describe a stitching pattern that’s in the shape of a bird’s wing. Often erroneously used by Americans to describe a full brogue, it’s actually more appropriate to use the word to describe an austerity brogue. In fact, you’re better off buying brogues, semi-brogues, and quarter brogues all before buying a pair of wingtips. These are much easier to find than austerity brogues, and as such you’ll spend less time looking and more time enjoying the shoes you bought. The vibrant colors used in the shoe with wings logo reflect the bright and creative style that Vans is known for. The brand has always celebrated self-expression and encouraged individuals to stand out from the crowd.
