No brand brings to mind images of California cool quite like Vans, and that’s even more true with the unveiling of their latest release. Pictured above in a Pacific Blue suede with black on the side panel Jazz Stripes (somewhat similar to one of this summer’s Notchback releases), the Vans Sk8-Hi is every bit as unstoppable as the tides from the ocean it references. These offer a no-nonsense alternative to all the themed packs we’ve seen in recent months, but be ready with your cans of water-repellent because these don’t have the same winter-readiness as some of those others. Check them out up close below, then find yours available at Off the Wall retailers like Caliroots.
