The latest Vans Syndicate release is upon us, and is slowly trickling into local Vans Syndicate dealers, like our fine peeps over at Silo. The pack takes it’s inspiration directly from Mike Hill’s two favorite shoes he wears, and the collaboration turned out to be a super dope release, and some of our design wishes made it to the final version, like the wide heel strip panel, seen on the early “Made in USA” Authentics. They toyed around with a few different variations, but we’re glad that this one stuck! The Sk8-Hi Boot “S”, although not typical for the “S” label, is a great addition to the Syndicate heritage, and is definitely a first. These resemble Mike’s work boots that he wears while out on his adventures. They come wrapped in premium dark green leather, while sitting on top of the same vanilla sole as the minty Authentic. Mint/black workboot laces are featured on both shoe, for a nice finishing touch. Oh, and one last thing! The accessories were brought back for this release! Every pair comes with a DIY rubber stamp sheet, with some Vans Syndicate, and some Alien Workshop artwork. Hooray! These are both now available at your local Vans Syndicate dealer, or if you’re having trouble finding your sizes, then check out Silo’s webstore at shop.silostore.com. All inventory should be up to date!
