max-schaaf-vans-syndicate-mountain-edition-4q-1

Veteran skateboarder and motorcycle builder Max Schaaf — known as much for his creativity on four wheels and a wooden deck as he is for his custom bikes — first teamed up with Vans Syndicate back in 2009 and now, to celebrate the imprint’s 10-year anniversary, he’s back with a brand new creation: the Mountain Edition 4Q. A premium, heavy duty mid-top, the Schaaf collab takes cues from his hometown of Oakland and comes decked out in military-grade leathers with heat-resistant Warrior suede lining, debossed logos, custom tank art on the sock liners and an all-black aesthetic. Finally, finishing touches include Ultracush HD footbeds and Vans’ signature waffle gum sole.

The Mountain Edition 4Q drops Saturday, October 17 while an excerpt of Syndicate’s interview with Schaaf appears below. For the full interview, head on over to vans.com/syndicate.

As the third installment honoring the 10th anniversary of Syndicate, this Saturday, October 3rd, Vans releases the Sk8-Hi Reissue NYC “S” inspired by the east coast skateboarding legend. Touted as one of the original pioneers of New York skateboarding in the 1970s and 1980s, Kessler is remembered for his dedicated community work in building public skateparks, inspiring locals and skateboarders from all walks of life to be a part of the emerging New York skate scene.

Vans Syndicate presents the Andy Kessler Sk8-Hi Reissue NYC “S” in the original premium leather and nubuck silhouette topped with the bright blue shoelaces he personalized all his Sk8-His with. The upper construction features Outlast temperature management linings and perforated nubuck panels for maximum protection and ventilation. Capping off the design, the custom heel scab references old NYC subway tokens of Andy’s childhood.
