So I called it!! I knew we would see a new Vans collabo in a few days and here it is! This time Vans teamed up with Montreal-based Off The Hook shop and chef Chuck Hughes to introduce the first-ever “kitchen-ready lifestyle shoe.” These kicks are part of the Black Crab pack, the SK8-Hi Reissue Zip LX features an all-black water-reppelant upper with minimal stitching and waxed cotton laces. A cork foot bed set atop the iconic waffle outsole for comfort. Additional features include a gusseted tongue and a waterproof zipper that runs along the back of the heel for easy accessibility. These kicks sound like they would make a good bicycling sneakers with all that waterproofing. And I love that murdered out matte black look to these puppies!
The SK8-Hi Reissue Zip LX “Black Crab” drops March 22 at the Vans x OTH store in Montreal and online.
