Supreme and Vans Launch the Diamond Plate Collection

— May 7, 2019 — Fashion
Supreme and Vans work in collaboration on two sneaker models that are centric to skateboarding culture in the Diamond Plate pack. The new range highlight the signature Slip-On Pro and the Sk8-Hi Pro. The main design element that adorns the footwear is the diamond plate graphic seen throughout the uppers of both models. In addition to the sneakers, the pack also features a toolbox and a bandana to bring forth an industrial theme.

Both of the sneakers showcase the print in an all-over manner, with the Sk8-Hi Pro constructed from premium suede and canvas materials throughout the uppers. On the other hand, the Slip-On Pro sneakers are constructed completely from canvas materials at the uppers. Both of the models feature leather lining and a vulcanized outsole to round it all out -- both iterations arrive in three colorway options as well.
