The most recent Vans Sk8-His came equipped with a couple of dress shirt-derived stripe patterns, but that doesn’t mean Off the Wall is going formal after all those Hawaiian and otherwise printed releases. To the contrary, expect new styles like this smartly colored island print for early next year, a Sk8-Hi whose tropical theme is echoed on the footbed of a flip-flop (suggesting even more?). This ‘Island Print’ design excels thanks to the contrast between its largely pastel palette and the bold forest green side stripe, while a golden brown lace plays mediator and really ties up the design with added balance. Click through to see a new Sk8-Hi that foreshadows not just future Vans output but potentially a crop of clever colorups and twists on the familiar printed releases, and stick with Sneaker News for updates. via EUkicks
