A little over a year since their last project, Vans Syndicate has once again partnered with DEFCON, a shadowy organization made up of brand strategists, researchers, designers, and photographers, “drawn together by a shared vision of modern design.” This time around the collaboration centers around the Vans Sk8-Hi Notchback Pro “S,” done up in an LBT MAS (Maritime Assault Suit) Grey, featuring a subdued color that Navy SEALs used for optimum environment blending during VBSS (vessel boarding search & seizure) and maritime operations. The shoe itself is finished with a navy suede vamp and heel, with additional details “currently classified.” The DEFCON x Vans Syndicate Sk8-Hi Notchback Pro “S” hits Syndicate retailers beginning November 15.
