Vans and BAPE are no strangers to working together, serving up a slew of statement footwear silhouettes throughout the years, specializing in both the classic Vans models: the Old Skool and Sk8-Mid. The dynamic duo is amalgamating their aesthetics once again, running it back for some reimagined iterations of the aforementioned skate sneakers.
The Old Skool sees BAPE's camouflage print stamped throughout the quarter panels in asymmetrical colorways featuring vibrant hues of pink, blue and green. A vulcanized rubber design of BAPE's shark teeth rests on the all-white forefoot. BAPE's Ape Head charm sits atop the shoelaces and the Vans signature Sidestripe is remastered to include BAPE's STA insignia.
As for the Sk8-Mid, the sneaker is dipped in BAPE's green camouflage pattern throughout its quarter panels. Similarly to the Old Skool, "A Bathing Ape" and "Off the Wall" are stamped in white font on the all-black vamp. The same Ape Head shoelace charm and reimagined Sidestripe are mirrored on the Sk8-Mid as well.
Take a closer look above and expect the Vans x Bape collaborative Old Skool and Sk8-Mid to drop on July 26 at the Vans webstore as well as BAPE's brick-and-mortar locations.
