Vans J-Lay Mid Fade – Purple Suede & Canvas

We just saw a new release from Converse Skateboarding, and although these aren’t a new model, the pair pictured above is enjoying its time in this dope new style.  The Vans J-Lay Mid Fade is Johnny Layton’s pro model.  Vans has been relying heavily upon classic models, but these joints show that they still got it, and vulcanized rubber soles still have their place in the griptape game.  The dark purple suede toe on these gives way to canvas, upon which a gradient from dark to a very light lilac colour is placed.  Feel free to cop these now from BSS.
