Premium Leather Holiday Sneakers

This New Vans Vault Line Has a Refined Vintage Aesthetic

For the new Vans Vault 'Holiday 2016' collection, the footwear brand joined with the 'Horween Leather Tannery.'

Due to this collaboration, each of the sneakers is constructed from leather of the highest quality, making for footwear that's as durable as it is stylish. Two of the skate giant's classic models are reworked for the new Vans Vault collection: the Sk8-Hi LX and the Old Skool LX. Both come in three different colorways, "with the Sk8-Hi arriving in black, timber and Parisian blue, while the Old Skool is showcased in navy, bone and dark steel."

All of new Vans Vault styles were presented in an editorial together, highlighting the beauty of the premium material and the branding of Vans and the Horween Leather Tannery.
