The stealthy and mysterious DEFCON collective is back in the trenches with Vans this summer for the return of the Sk8-Hi Notchback. The slightly modified Sk8-Hi with a cut-out heel piece is presented in three premium yet ultra durable and rugged camo-accented colorways of khaki, black, and olive. How rugged you ask? Each features waterproof and flame-retardant Wolverine Pig Suede with military-grade Multicam Nylon textiles for the upper, and Vans’ pro skate Duracap vulcanized sole. In other words, they’re built to last. Other tech features of the shoe include a gusseted tongue to further help keep water out, Dri-Lex linings for moisture wicking, Vans Ultracush HD sockliners, and a reverse waffle outsole for added traction. Special branding includes a lightning bolt on the tongue patch and midsole, and a “Hesh Goat” embossed on each heel
The DEFCON x Vans Sk8-Hi Notchback and accompanying apparel deploys May 27th at select Vans Pro Skate retailers worldwide.
