Well, as always, we have an update: this collection is currently available in certain Vans retailers as well as online. Included in this drop are the widely known Sk8 Hi and Slip-On, so if these peak your interest, you are now able to get your hands on these today.

From the looks of things, Vans has big plans for the near future. It definitely plans to catch the attention of many with the LX Pack- but it has no intentions of stopping there. Teaming up with Japanese retailer Flauge, Vans is preparing to drop another pack- this time consisting of a Sk8 Hi and an Era. Both shoes sport a navy blue and yellow colorway, with white accents seen most notably on the completely white sole Vans has become somewhat known for. With a rumored release date that is quickly approaching, make sure to stay on top of your local Vans retailers in order to disallow one or both of these shoes from slipping away.

A large part of the success experienced by the Vans brand stems from the number of different models this comfortable shoe line has brought into creation. This August, Vans is welcoming the beginning of summer’s end with two colorways on two refreshed pair of favorites: the Sk8 Hi and the Authentic Lo Pro.

The first colorway is officially made up of “parachute purple” with white accents and the second of “chilli pepper” with white accents. Of particular interest with this release is what resembles crocodile/snake skin on both shoe models. As often is the case, these colorways and models are going to be “hate it or love it” for many. But what are your thoughts on the topic? You can pick any or all of the sneakers in this pack up at select Vans retailers now.

Vans celebrates the legendary rock band The Pixies with a unique version of the iconic SK8-Hi. The predominantly black upper is accented nicely by a Pixies’ album cover along the middle panel that reads “death to the PIXIES” and features a grisly graphic of an emaciated creature.(It’s a human, I think?…) The Vans x Pixies SK8-Hi is the latest music-related shoe from the California-based skate brand. Look for it on shelves later this year. Via hs.
