Vault x Blends - Sk8-Hi Zipper LX "10 Year Anniversary"

These things are dope as hell! I was fortunate to receive an early pair, so I did a review write-up that will be up at 2PM PDT.
BLENDS is pleased to announce, in celebration of our 10 year anniversary, a collaboration with Vans Vault for the BLENDS SK8 Hi Zip LX. Sticking with the iconic SK8 Hi OG mold, we injected the classic shoe with Blends venom, calling into play a premium leather upper, a gun metal zipper on the heel and switching the classic jazz stripe for a bone. The shoe was designed by Blends co-founder Tak Kato.
The Blends SK8 Hi Zip LX will be releasing on Friday, March 8th at our Los Angeles, Costa Mesa, Santa Ana locations and online at BLENDSUS.com. They will also be available at the opening of the VANS x BLENDS shop, located at our Downtown San Diego location.
100 pairs made

Heck yeah! The Sk8-Hi Zip is already a favorite amongst Vans heads, and now they make it in this dope bones rendition?! They're toying with our emotions, son! And $170 seems about right, since the Sk8-Hi Zip LX's were $140 retail, right?
