UK-based retailer END has consistently worked across the footwear industry with the brands it carries in its stores. Vans, who previously teamed up with END alongside Noma T.D. at the start of 2024 on the Sk8-Mid, Authentic, and Slip-On silhouettes, is working again with the retailer, this time on the Old Skool 136.
The silhouette, featuring a parachute-inspired nylon ripstop upper, is coated in a bright white shade that stretches across this ripstop base. Premium suede details on the eyelets, Vans jazz stripe, and heel overlay come in a slight grey hue that matches the lace set and the suede toecap. Rubber foxing on the midsole comes raised for added durability and protection when skating, and this rubber also comes in a white hue.
Co-branded details for END and Vans are found on the insole, featuring the logos of each brand in black. Final details include the white vulcanized rubber midsole, featuring black Off The Wall branding on the license plate on the heel, a white rubber outsole, an END-branded pull tab on the heel, and a custom box housing the pair.
The END x Vans LX Old Skool 136 Parachute will release on February 21, 2025, through END Clothing online and in-store. Available in men’s sizing, the retail price is $125.
