Vans and JJJJound's Sk8-Mid Sneakers Launch Globally
JJJJound and Vans recently joined forces to work on a set of the Sk8-Mid sneaker model with a spotlight on earthy tones. The duo deliver three colorways of the Style 37 silhouette, also known as the Sk8-Mid since it launched in the 90s.
The first colorway is a green option, followed by a black colorway, and a brown colorway. The tonal looks are neutral and boast an utilitarian theme with a monochromatic look. The brand also details the shoe with suede materials across the upper. It sits on top of a white rubber waffle sole unit at the foundation. All three of the shoes will officially launch beginning August 14th at select retail locations such as Goodhood.
