Custom Tonal Skate Sneakers

Coutié Updates the Vans Old Skool 36 DX with Blue Details

German label Coutié adds a new and custom touch to the Vans Old Skool 36 DX sneaker model with a Baby Blue tonal update. Coutié adds the Old C Logo onto the signature sneaker model and keeps the black canvas materials at the upper's foundation.

Branding nodding to Coutié can be seen at the mid panel right under the Jazz Stripe, which is now done in the Baby Blue hue. This sits right next to text that reads "Spring/Summer 2021 IDEAS THAT CONNECT." The medial side of the shoe also features the same blue stripe and decorative detail around the heel. The Old C Logo makes its way in a classic gothic font to round it all out.
