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.

Right after receiving the teaser, we’ve now got a full set of images on the CNCPTS x Vans Syndicate project that’s in the works. The silhouette used is the Vans Sk8-Hi, which gets outfitted with a sort of paisley looked etched along the sides and a silky red lining for the innards. It turns out that the pair is not another Porky’s tribute as we’d originally surmised, but rather one that nods to Boston’s now extinct red-light style district known as the Combat Zone. See more on the sneakers right after the jump and watch for the CNCPTS x Vans Syndicate Sk8-Hi “Combat Zone” to release this Saturday, March 30th, at Concepts in Boston.
