It’s no longer all about the Vans Sk8 Hi; Vans is putting its efforts in the Vans Sk8 Mid, releasing two new colorways of the shoe. The two colorways are featured in leprechaun/true white and black/red/true white, using an all leather upper on the first pair and a combination of leather and suede on the second. Both shoes use a white midsole and soles in yellow and red, respectively. The inner lining also features a check pattern, which is staple for many Vans’ models. So for those who are bored and tired of the Sk8-Hi and want a little change, the Vans Sk8 Mid is the perfect choice; available now for about $90.

Transforming a classic adidas model, the Gazelle gets a skateboarding make-over to fit the needs of the popular industry. The Gazelles are outfitted with maroon suede and ice white stripes. In reference to the skate composition of the Gazelle, a blue disc can be found on the sole, a feature allowing skaters to land smoother and provide more cushioning for ideal skating. Expect to see Maroon Skate Gazelle in stores beginning next week. Via Sneaker Freaker.
