Utilizing the iconic Sk8-Hi and Era silhouettes, the shoes employ a combination of supple calfskin leather and suede uppers. The Sk8-Hi Decon LX features deconstructed uppers, a leather outer panel and suede interior panels, finished with a heavy gauged tonal stitch side stripe. The Era LX features a calfskin at the toe and suede at the side panels. Both models feature Vans’ signature vulcanized Waffle outsole, with a pigskin leather lining, instep mil-spec print, contrasting black bumper and heel plate.”

“RETROSUPERFUTURE is teaming up with Vans for a new take on the OG Style 43 LX silhouette.

The collaborative Vans will be available in two colorways: White/”Neon Green” and Black/”Deep Purple.” Retaining the footwear brand’s classic canvas construction, the sneaker’s toe boxes are covered in suede overlays for a textural contrast, lending the sleek shoe a rugged touch. The all-white and black uppers make for a versatile contrast against the eye-catching green and purple semi-transparent soles, which grant the sneakers a playful edge. “RETROSUPERFUTURE” branding graces the sides of the soles, the front of the shoes and the tongue, driving the collaborative nature home.”

Expect the shoes to be released on September 13.

Saint Alfred and Vans Vault partner for a unique take on the seasonal appropriate Vault OG Authentic LX.

Saint Alfred dug through the Vans catalogue and highlighted an archival Vans “Acid” pattern print and applied it to the shoe’s canvas upper. The acid wash print pays homage to Vans’s home and Southern California’s surf and skate culture which birthed the acid wash process. The Vans iconic Checkerboard pattern is wrapped around the midsole. The shoes come with co-branded special packaging.

Chicago artist Ben Marcus lends his vision to help tell the story of the two colors, Acid/Black and Acid/Pesto. As a bonus and thank you to our guests, each shoe will include a limited Ben Marcus riso graph print produced by Perfectly Acceptable Press, Chicago, IL.

The limited Acid/Black will be available at KICKS/HI and in-store at Saint Alfred Friday, August 9th 11am CT. If any pairs remain after assisting local Chicago guests, those shoes will release on saintalfred.com 2pm CT.

Even more limited, Acid/Pesto, will be available to friends and family and select pairs in-store only at Saint Alfred Friday, August 9th 11am CT.

Please contact Saint Alfred info@stalfred.com for more information. Thank you!
