Modern alternative to these shoes?

I've had these Vans from circa 2016 and have loved how versatile they have been. Is there a newer version of something like this (any brand) that is still in style? I typically wear them for "upscale casual" purposes. Would these work with pants and shorts? Thanks!

Vans are classics, stick with em if you like the fit / shape / comfort etc. 🙂 Can't go wrong with some Vans Eras in all white for example. Very much still in style

Well mine are getting old and it appears they have been discontinued haha. Good call on the Eras though. These Era 59s look pretty nice: https://plusskateshop.com/cdn/shop/products/2_bf1bf970-4d49-4a9d-9329-a835e8edbdfe_1024x1024.jpg?v=1627928218

I wouldn't go for this model, the contrast tongue is a miss for me White vans are a classic but I don't know if I'd call any vans "upscale casual." It's very much a beater sneaker. For "upscale casual," a casual leather (non-sneaker) shoe is probably your best bet.

I was using "Upsace casual" very loosesly, as I live in hick-ville lol. Not sure a casual leather shoe is what i'm looking for, as i'm looking for something to fit with khaki shorts.
