Chicago retailer Saint Alfred has teamed up with Vans Vault once again for another special project, this time to collaborate on the Sk8-Hi Binding LX silhouette. Constructed from a water-repellant, woven Ventile upper, this edition of the hi-top sneaker is a stripped down, deconstructed version of the Sk8-Hi with the removal of ankle padding as well as Vans’ signature Sidestripe. Tonal stitching, leather lining, a gusseted tongue, and a leather heel panel accentuate the shoe’s design. Offered in a light gray “Earth” colorway as well as a solid “Black” option, each model comes with natural cotton laces and a natural cotton shoe bag.

Limited to 100 pairs per colorway, purchase these Sk8-Hi Binding LXs on April 30 when they drop exclusively at Saint Alfred in Chicago, while a surplus of 10 pairs per color will be released at KICKS HAWAII and KICKS/HI GUAM. Have you also seen the previously released Saint Alfred x Vans Vault Old Skool LX?
