This is the first look we get at Vans’ latest innovation called ComfyCush, which is their latest approach to modernizing their classic silhouettes for better comfort. Utilizing the same comfort and design elements from the UltraCush “Lite” product line, this updated rendition has a much improved shape, getting as close as you can to the classic vulcanized shape we all love with our everyday Vans. If you recall, the previous versions had a slightly bulky, and extruded “marshmallow” shape to it, especially around the edges of the foxing stripe, but that looks to be all gone with the ComfyCush soles.
For this inaugural release, Vault By Vans introduces us to the ComfyCush line with a Sk8-Hi Reissue LX, and an Era LX, constructed in a woven hair suede checkerboard design, with solid nubuck panels. The pack consists of a few red, blue, or black colorways, contrasting with white. These haven’t shown up here in the US yet, but Hanon has listed them up on their site. This just might be the game changer that we’ve been waiting for, and I can’t wait to try these out.
