Further to previous collaborations, Patta and Vans are proud to present the Vans x Patta Sk8-Hi Collection. While the previous collaborations were focused on the Vans Old Skool silhouette, Patta opted to rework another Vans classic: the Sk8-Hi.

Both colors combine premium ripstop materials on the shoe uppers, a suede toebox, flap and back heel, leather signature "jazz" striping and lining, and feature the Patta Script Logo on the midsole. Every pair is finished off with Team Patta laces, paired with matching “P” lace locks.
Every pair also comes with an additional set of thick premium cotton ‘Team Patta’ laces.
The Vans x Patta Sk8-Hi collection is set to release at the Patta Amsterdam and London stores on Saturday, December 2, and will also be offered online at patta.nl from Monday December 4 onwards.
