Vault by Vans spotlights the Sk8-Hi Reissue sneaker model this time around, with the brand new Dream Leather update to the minimally designed shoe. This season, it boasts a premium update through the materials and construction of the shoe that was originally launched back in 1978.
It is traditionally made with a fusion of suede and canvas throughout the upper, however, this time around, it uses a full-grain black leather material that is supple to the touch. This is seen at the top half with contrast tonal stitching detail and the same white Jazz stripe is retained, found at both the lateral and medial quarter panels of the shoe. The tongue badge is also done up in leather with a debossed logo on top.
