NOAH launches a collaborative collection alongside skate label Vans on a refreshing take on two iconic silhouettes -- the Sk8 Hi model and the Style 47 shoes. The two styles each boast a design aesthetic unique to its own as the Sk8-Hi shoes are offered in two all-over design patterns and the Style 47 chukkas boast unique hues and strap enclosures.
The Sk8-Hi shoes have two patterns, one that has skulls all over it and the other in a black and white colored checkerboard design -- both of which have branding accents of the two labels on the tongue patch. The Style 47 chukkas come in the colorway options of either black or purple, constructed from suede materials and have contrasting details through its stitching.
