Since its inception in 2006, White Mountaineering has been synonymous with functional, detail-oriented, and stylish outdoor gear. On the other hand, Vans, the iconic skateboarding brand, has a history of over five decades, bringing skate culture and fashion together. As the sneaker world buzzes with talks about recent collaborations, the news of White Mountaineering and Vans teaming up again is causing quite a stir. This October, sneakerheads will be treated to two fresh takes on the Chukka 49 and SK8-Low silhouettes.
The Chukka 49, swathed in an earthy brown suede, leads the pack in this collaboration. Pops of burgundy gracefully trace the laces and the sumptuous leather lining, lending an air of elegance to the sneaker. A highlight that will undoubtedly pique interest is the intricate floral graphic decorating the shoe's upper, an artistic touch that speaks to the Japanese label's penchant for design flair. The SK8-Low, dressed in a deep navy shade, doesn't shy away either. Contrasting its counterpart, this model flaunts a distinct floral pattern, making each silhouette stand out in its own right. The SK8-Low finds its foundation in a sturdy black midsole and outsole, while the Chukka opts for a creamy finish, providing both aesthetics and durability.
The White Mountaineering x Vans collection will release October 28, 2023, exclusively via White Mountaineering online and in-store. Available in men’s sizing, the Chukka is priced at $110, while the SK8-Low will retail for $102.
