One of Blends' owners, Mike, brought in one of his pairs of the original Blends x Vans Vault SK8-Hi Reissue Zip LX's to the office today. This pair has got some serious miles on them and have been worn rigorously since their first sought daylight. The quality of leather Vans Vault selects on their shoes is greatly hi-lighted as this pair has withstood its test of time. When selecting the leather on this collaboration we wanted the shoes to age gracefully, like a work boot, unlike cheap synthetic leathers we frequently see on sneakers to date.
