Kanye’s brand partnership with adidas has boosted the three stripes’ lifestyle imprint into an entirely new stratosphere. Yet Ye continues to defy that exclusive collaboration to wear one brand: Vans. Nobody knows the finer details of Kanye’s contract with adidas, but perhaps somewhere in there is a clause that allows Mr. West to rock the legendary skate brand on the regular. So ever since Yeezy broke out the Half Cabs, Sk8-His, and Slip-Ons, rumors abound about a potential move to Vans in 2017. Until then, we’ll see Vans do what it has done best: release understated classics with minor updates like this Vans Old Skool Zip “Leather Pack”. The iconic skating silhouette returns with a YKK zipper running up the side panel so you can demote laces to a purely aesthetic adornment. Two colorways are available: an understated white and black and vise versa. Perhaps we’ll see Kanye break out a pair in the near future, so you might want to hop on this $75 offering before it’s too late. Available today from spots like Sneaker Freaker.
