Back to the basics. Sometimes that’s the best recipe when you’re feeling a little stagnant or out of place. With that being said, you’re probably looking at the best Sk8-Hi Zip pack to release thus far, and you know it had to be a Vans Vault model. For the Summer, Vault by Vans has outdone themselves again by taking an updated classic and combining just the right amount of materials, this time nubuck, and premium full-grain leather, with some familiar classic colorways for Vans: Black, Jester Red, and Peacoat (navy). There’s just enough of an off-white contrast with the jazz stripe, foxing, and laces, proving that less is more, and allowing the materials to steal the show, as Vault always does. The Sk8-Hi Zip Reissue LX always does well, but these surely won’t last long, so decide now if and what you want from the pack, as they are showing up soon at your local Vault dealer!

Vans California consistently drops the cleanest pairs of Vans, and case in point are these Sk8-Mid CA’s, constructed in a premium white napa leather, with a brown suede heel panel which adds a nice contrast to the otherwise pure white shoe. There’s also brown suede on the lining, as well as on the tongue logo. They finish off these nicely with a set of round waxed laces, while sitting on top of a smoothed out vulcanized sole. These are not a Size? UK exclusive, as others may have mentioned, and should be available at all Vans CA dealers, and are even online now at Barney’s New York.

Vans has teamed up with Toy Machine pro rider Daniel Lutheran during his recent time off from skateboarding, nursing a crazy leg injury. Daniel was able to get with Vans and create this Era Pro that you see here. Decked out entirely in a blue suede material, featuring an animated pastel floral print all over, and featuring all the upgrades that the Pro models all receive. These represent Dan-Lu’s “mellow” style, and are a nice addition to the Spring/Summer lineup. Available everywhere!
