Vans SK8-HI Cheap


Legendary Japanese brand Mastermind and Vans SK8-HI Mens have enjoyed a fruitful long-term partnership. Known for their black-and-white colorblocking/signature skull-and-crossbones motif, Mastermind has lent their instantly recognizable touch to seemingly every silhouette in the extensive tome of Vans SK8-HI Womens. Now, the two are joining forces again for a new take on the beloved Vans Sk8-Hi. The shoe’s standard upper color scheme remains intact, but Mastermind’s added a plentiful helping of alternate details — as both the lateral and medial sides are swathed in an all-over skull print, and the heel features a zipper for easy on/easy off. The lower half adds further to the two-tone contrast, with a stark white toe cap arriving in front of a black midsole that boasts embossed Mastermind text detailing. A white outsole then arrives to complete the look.

There are few collaborative partnerships in the sneaker industry with roots deeper than the pairing of Vans SK8-HI For Sale and Taka Hayashi. One an artist who works in mediums from clothing to art, the other a legendary California skate brand that seemingly holds a place in every subculture imaginable, the two have joined forces a whopping 18 times over the course of their partnership. Now the familiar friends are back at it again, releasing new takes on a two-pack of classics: the Vans SK8-HI Cheap and Vans Slip-On. For the main design touch on both shoes Hayashi has taken the classic checkerboard print, enlarged it to make each individual square stand out more, and then offered texture via a woven upper, swapping out the normal printed design for a look that boasts both intricate detailing and a premium feel. Black accents round off both uppers, and each midsole/outsole is dressed in an opaque grey with special detailing towards the heel.
