SoCal mainstays Blends and Vans Vault link up with motorcycle show Born Free to rework the classic Old Skool LX.
Taking cues from their previous collaborations, inspired by American motorcycle culture, the shoe features a red, white and blue Jazz Stripe that sits on a sturdy leather upper and is complimented with a suede toe box and back heel panel. Waxed flat tonal cotton laces, and a classic white sole finish this clean design. We were completely surprised to find out about this release, being that last year’s pair didn’t happen. Usually a few of our friends and I would plan out a weekend for the Born Free show, and make our way to Irvine Lake to check out all of the awesome builds, but let’s be honest, we’re mostly there for the Blends Vans. These are a thing of beauty, and I hope everybody who wants these, gets them without too much hassle. Things are a little bit different this year, so it looks like we’ll be resorting to online only for these, so good luck!
Look for this shoe to be available on the Blends website on October 3rd. Pricing TBD.
