Last year, Japanese sneaker aficionado Silas collaborated with Vans to result in a Black-Turquoise Sk8 High- which was also a part of Vans’ 30th year anniversary. In 2009, the two went at it again. This time, the resulting Vans Sk8 High consists of a repeating white/black pattern along the side with red accents and the patented all-white sole. A very select group of Silas retailers received this Vans Sk8 High in late August- so, unless you know of a Silas retailer AND it happens to have these in stock, your best bet might be searching for these online. Happy hunting!

Vans has celebrated the 30th anniversary of the iconic SK8-Hi this year and are teaming up with Silas to add his touch to the classic model. Hit with suede accented by turquoise, Silas adds his signature touch with the addition of his “S” logo along the stripe. A simple combination of colors and design appear on this SK8-Hi making it very appealing. Release is scheduled for early September at Silas & Maria’s flagship store in Tokyo. Via Honeyee.
