Calligraphed Skater Sneakers

Vans and Supreme Teamed up to Create the 'Vans Sk8-Mid' Collection

— September 18, 2015 — Fashion
Vans and Supreme have collaborated yet again on the 'Vans Sk8-Mid,' a stylish skate shoe for Fall/Winter 2015. The two skate-brand giants are adapting the mid-top version of the Vans Sk8-Hi as its foundation, with a set of three new colorways.

The Vans Sk8-Mid will be featured in black, beige or purple, with suede or canvas uppers. All of the versions will have the same white detailing wrapping around the heel of the shoe. Also, the phrase "eat me" will be shown in calligraphy on the shoe. The distinct "eat me" print is also available throughout Supreme's Fall/Winter collection and can be seen on the brand's shorts and hoodies.

The versatile sneaker is no longer just for skating, and because of its refined silhouette and neutral colorways, the Vans Sk8-Mid is the perfect shoe for daily wear in the fall.
