We haven’t seen a Vans collab with Berkeley’s Bows And Arrows for a minute, but sometimes you just have to wait for greatness! This particular release, is a 5-shop project, like we saw a few years back to promote the then newly released Vault OG Runner LX. The current project has been kept pretty close to the vest, and this is the first we’ve heard about it, and as far as we know, none of the other shops have released any pics or info about their contribution. We aren’t even sure who else is involved.
Bows And Arrows has gone with one of their favorite models, the Sk8-Hi, and turned it into something that is distinctly theirs. Right away, you see a triple-wide jazz stripe, in bold blue, red, and yellow colors. The shoe is inspired by traditional motorsports and graphics, and the all-black leather, with black soles, and white contrast stitching, along with the photo shoot in the old automotive garage also helps drive home that aesthetic. Minimal branding can be found on a tongue tag, as well as on the inside heel pad, and the waffle soles feature the same primary colors as the jazz stripe, in a striped pattern.
The shoe is set to release this coming Saturday, the 15th, for a set price of $110, according to a comment on their IG, which is a great price for this level of quality! Sizes 4-13 will be available.
