Vans Syndicate

 

The next collab in the ten year anniversary pack from Vans Syndicate is this beauty from Max Schaaf. Release instore at 12:00 on Saturday.  

Known as much for his creativity on four wheels and a wooden deck as he is with two wheels and American iron, veteran skateboarder and motorcycle builder Max Schaaf is no stranger to the Vans Syndicate family. With his first Syndicate project dating back in 2009, Schaaf’s influential persona is defined once again in the Mountain Edition 4Q “S”, a premium, heavy-duty mid-top, available worldwide this Saturday, October 17, marking the fourth release in celebration of Vans Syndicate’s 10^th Anniversary.

 

Schaaf’s rugged aesthetic is emphasized in this reimagined silhouette, boasting military-grade leathers, enhanced design details inspired specifically by skateboarding, bikes and Schaaf’s hometown of Oakland, CA. The timeless style comes in an all-black, full grain leather construction.

 

The Vans Syndicate Max Schaaf Mountain Edition 4Q "S” launches worldwide in-store on Saturday, October 17th, exclusively at participating Vans Syndicate dealers. 

 

2015 marks the 10^th anniversary of the Vans Syndicate collection, Vans Pro Skate’s celebration of the diverse heritage of ideas, attitudes and influences that make up skateboarding’s unique culture. Vans pays tribute to this milestone by returning to several original Syndicate collaborators to represent a decade of iconoclastic style and heritage.

Vans Syndicate x Andy Kessler Sk8-hi Reissue

 

 

Celebrating a decade of Vans Syndicate would not be complete without a proper tribute to New York skateboarding icon Andy Kessler. As the third installment honoring the 10^th anniversary of Syndicate, this October 3 Vans releases the Sk8-Hi Reissue NYC "S" inspired by the east coast skateboarding legend. Touted as one of the original pioneers of New York skateboarding in the 1970s and 1980s, Kessler is remembered for his dedicated community work in building public skateparks, inspiring locals and skateboarders from all walks of life to be a part of the emerging New York skate scene.

 

Vans Syndicate presents the Andy Kessler Sk8-Hi Reissue NYC "S” in the original premium leather and nubuck silhouette topped with the bright blue shoelaces he personalized all his Sk8-His with. The upper construction features Outlast temperature management linings and perforated nubuck panels for maximum protection and ventilation. Capping off the design, the custom heel scab references old NYC subway tokens of Andy’s childhood.

 

The Vans Syndicate x Andy Kessler anniversary project launches worldwide in-store on Saturday, October 3^rd exclusively at participating Vans Syndicate authorized dealers. Visit Vans.com for the complete list of dealers.
