Vans Collaborates With Bows And Arrows For The 5×5 Collection

For their “5×5” collection, Vans Vault had five retail partners across the world — from Chicago’s Notre to Milan’s Slam Jam — redesign 5 OG silhouettes. The latest shop to spotlight their special design? Berkeley, California’s Bows And Arrows, who opted to work on the Vans Sk8-Hi. The shoe’s main design detail jumps out at you upon first glance, as not one but three layered Vans jazz stripes dressed in vibrant blue, red, and yellow pop off the simple black leather upper. White contrast stitching is used on all the shoe’s seams for a little extra flair, and a brightly colored outsole corresponds with the upper’s special detailing. Finishing touches are then provided by a small Bows And Arrows tag on the tongue and a special alternate pair of branded B&A laces — perfect if you want to go full-on maximalist with your kicks. Grab a look at this interesting new take on a classic skate shoe below, and head over to the Bows And Arrows webstore to scoop a pair now for $110 USD.
