Two of the skateboarding worldr17;s enduring brands come together on this latest Off the Wall collaboration. The Independent x Vans SK8-HI For Sale applies the famed cross logo from one of the longest running truck brands to the side panels of the original hightop skate shoe. The choice of model here was probably not a coincidence, as the Vans SK8-HI Womens debuted the same year Independent opened for business (though had they dropped it last year, it would have coincided with both 35th anniversaries).
As it turns out, there are even more pairs from the Taka Hayashi x Vans Vault Spring 2014 collection than initially assumed. The Vans SK8-HI Mens from Mr. Hayashi for the Spring have suddenly doubled in numbers at the reveal of these monkey-print pairs. The two shown here sort of break away from the native-looking patterns of the rest of the set with a more cartoony approach to the graphics.
For the upcoming winter season, Vans SK8-HI Best Price has hooked up an outdoor version of the low-top Vans Era CA. Here wer17;re seeing three colorways including pine green, mahogany red, and black, all of which are fitted with a rubber coated canvas upper. Meanwhile a combination of nubuck and canvas is applied to each pairr17;s inner lining. Anchoring each look is a white rubber sole.
First rumored to be a surprise collaboration with Virgil Abloh, the deconstructed efforts by Vansr17; own design team has surely garnered some well-deserved buzz from fashion enthusiasts and sneakerheads alike. Deconstructed in its overall appearance the pack first introduced a fused Vans SK8-HI Buy Online as well as an accompanying Slip-On, innovating on everything the label has done thus far. Usually a laceless affair, this unique fusion of the more casual silhouette with the intricate Old Skool is set to return once again in different color options.
