Vans 45LX "Fixed"

With the fixed gear scene increasing with more riders day in, day out, quintessential skate brand Vans has stepped in to offer bike riders their own little niche sneaker. On the surface, the 45LX seems very similar to Vans’ current Era/Authentic styles, however minute details along with a saddle bag would speak otherwise to the legion of riders out there. The details include 3M highlights on the laces and marquee heel logo. However, the unassuming details will definitely come across as a genuine effort for the fledging fixed gear market. No word yet on a release date. Source: Crooked Tongues
