Bodega and Vans Vault are releasing this Sk8-Hi Reissue LX this upcoming Saturday, dubbed “Instant Winner”. With inspiration being drawn from the history and culture of gambling. There’s a nice write-up that BDGA shared, on the mindset of gambling, and it’s rich history, which I’ve saved for after the jump. For now, let’s just talk about the details on the shoe. For starters, the colors chosen are of the green variety, but more on the earth-tone side of things. The materials chosen consists of some nubuck, premium tumbled leather, and canvas. They went for gum soles, which pairs up perfectly with the colors of the upper. There’s custom embroidery on the heel, and Bodega 10th anniversary branding on the footbeds. Well done Bodega! Well done.
The Bodega x Vans Vault Sk8-Hi LX ‘Instant Winner’ releases on Saturday, November 5th. Retail is set at $150 and the shoe will be available from the Bodega ComplexCon booth at 10:00am PST, from shop.bdgastore.com at 10:00am EST, and in-store at 10:00am EST.
