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 10th 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 3rd exclusively
at participating Vans Syndicate authorized dealers. Visit Vans.com for
the complete list of dealers.
