Chicago streetwear and sneaker shop Saint Alfred has teamed up with Vans Vault for a special collaboration on the always popular Sk8-Hi Binding LX silhouette. First things first, Saint Alfred deconstructed the Sk8-Hi, removing the ankle padding and Van’s branding Sidestripe, while building the sneaker out of a water-repellent, woven Ventile upper. Featuring tonal stitching, leather lining, a gusseted tongue, natural cotton laces and a leather heel panel, the shoe comes in a light grey “Earth” colourway and a “Black.”

This limited edition collabo will feature 100 pairs of each colourway, and drops April 30 exclusively at Saint Alfred in Chicago.  Take a closer look at the video lookbook above and still lookbook below.
