To promote the new Sk8-Hi designs, Patta and Vans launched a stylized editorial that shows the shoes on models, who pose in them in front of a city skyline, in a bright green field, and along the water. Color and black and white effects are contrasted throughout the editorial, allowing the colors on the shoes to pop more.
