With Vans having been so far ahead of the curve with their deck shoe experimentation, Off the Wall is in a position to try some new things that we’ve not seen from other brands’ boat styles. Following up on this spring’s crepe-soled Sk8 hightops comes another variation from the premium Vault collection, this time offering a distinct design cue that’d be a bit harder to trace to a particular footwear style. The Vans Vault Sk8-Hi Boat Strap LX is presented in two earthy canvas and leather styles, the lighter of which features some flowery embellishments on the latter material. Have a look at both of them after the jump below, let us know where this variation ranks on the list of recent Sk8-Hi themes and stick with Sneaker News for US release info. via FNG
