Vans Vault OG Sk8-Hi LX Palm Leaf

vans-vault-og-sk8-hi-lx-palm-leaf-1

Vans digs into the Vault for an OG representation of the Sk8-Hi LX in the form of a “Palm Leaf” production. The vintage styled skater is done up in a red and off-white combo that features the palm leaf print on the canvas section of the shoe. Red suede offers some nice contrast that looks well against the leather inner liner sharing the same hue. The shoe is set for a Summer drop but BLENDS will be having them in time for you this Saturday when some of you will probably be enjoying some leaf of a different nature.

Diemme x Vans Vault Montebelluna Hi LX

Diemme x Vans Vault Montebelluna Hi LX

The most expensive Vans out there (Sprinters not withstanding) are limited edition collaborations that grow increasingly difficult to find with time.  That means that as the character grows in these new Diemme collabs, they have the potential to reach the peak, because they are already quite exclusive at retail.  The new Diemme x Vans Vault Montebelluna Hi LX slightly alters the iconic Sk8-Hi silhouette, crafting this skate classic in rich black and navy leathers that’ll have you wearing them for a night on the town.  Check out more photos of both below, then grab yours from select retailers like Kith.

DQM x Vans “I Love NY’ Footwear Collection

DQM x Vans I Love NY Footwear Collection

DQM will be releasing its Spring 13 footwear collection in collaboration with Vans on Friday, April 19th. Made exclusively for DQM, the collection of two shoes, a Vans Authentic and a Sk8-Hi, use the famous “I Love New York” graphic, the symbol of their city.

Designed by Milton Glaser in 1977, the iconic pop-style graphic stands as a postmodern signature of New York; ubiquitous on plastic shopping bags and t-shirts in delis and souvenir stores throughout the city, with the trademarked logo used officially to promote tourism in the state.

The graphic is printed all over on classic off-white canvas on the Authentic, and all over the quarter of the Sk8-Hi, which is finished with a black leather side stripe. The shoes feature a classic white midsole and Vans’ gum waffle sole, flat white lace, and use ‘The Vans DQM General’ branding throughout the shoe: a printed logo at the insole and The General’s signature navy heel tab.

Produced in a limited edition, both styles will be available exclusively at The Vans DQM General in SoHo, New York and in the DQM online store. The retail price of the Authentic will be $85 and Sk8-Hi will be $100.

The Vans Sk8-Hi and the Vans Slip-On are the models selected, both of which let the leather shine with simple black and navy set ups. It’s also worth noting that the models have been rebranded thanks to the Diemme partnership, getting called the Vans Montebelluna Hi LX and the Vans Montebelluna Lo LX here. See both Italian takes on the Vans heritage (Releasing this April) after the jump and tell us if you think they’re worth the $350 and $300 price tags attached.

Elijah Berle x Vans Sk8-Hi

Elijah Berle x Vans Sk8 Hi

Vans is the global skate leader and does almost everything at a high level, but they might have missed an opportunity to release this collaboration about a year ago.  You see, that’s when young Elijah Berle was named 2011 ‘Year’s Best Am’ by The Skateboard Mag, an honor that would have served as a natural springboard into this new Elijah Berle x Vans Sk8-Hi teamup.  Berle is noted as saying Jeff Grosso is his favorite skater ever, so it’s fitting that this model and colorway both resemble Grosso’s first Off the Wall pack from two springs ago.  Take a closer look below, then grab Elijah Berle’s Sk8-His from shops like Concepts.

Metallica x Vans Sk8-Hi “Kill ‘Em All”

vans-metallica

Sometimes you should just kill em’ all, at least according to Metallica. The metal band has been working with Vans on a Sk8-Hi that takes cues from its debut album way back in 1983. The black suede shoe features a white rear pane that features a graffiti/splatter print that is the same graphic that was featured on the cover artwork when the album released. You can grab this rock classic at select spots that carry Vans OTW like  MIA.
