Coming Soon: Vans Vault x The North Face 2015 Fall/Winter Collection
Two industry heavyweights collide for a collaboration perfect for colder weather. The pieces, ranging from a heavy outwear jacket to different sneaker silhouettes, come equipped with features to help cope with rougher weather. Amongst the features are gusseted tongues, reversed waffle lug outsoles, heat retention technology and water repellency. The silhouette’s included in the pack are Vans classic SK8 Hi and a fleece lined chukka. For the jacket, Vans puts their own spin on the North Face’ Nuptse jacket with its checkered design. Look for this sweet collaboration to drop this Saturday, October 31st.
The look and feel of the Sk8-Hi 46 CA of this springs Vans California Collection is in a class of its own. So-called near deer leather is a piece of trade vernacular for one thing, and one thing only: premium full grain leather as supple and smooth as they come. A dark, rich navy tone on vamp, eyestay, tongue, heel, and the front portion of a split side panel offers an intriguing contrast to the boldly striped, washed textile that runs from side panel up the ankle and into the lining. Complementing waxed, white laces, a white side-stripe, and a pigskin Vans label on the tongue complete this Sk8-Hi 46 CA silhouette.
