SoCal boutique Blends, annual Orange County custom motorcycle show Born Free, and Vans Vault have teamed up this season to rework the Old Skool LX along the lines of the Golden State’s rich motoring history. The sneaker features black suede and canvas construction on the upper, while a red, white and blue Jazz Stripe winds across the much of the shoe. Waxed flat tonal cotton laces and a classic white sole finish this clean design, while the translucent outsole provides a surprise revealing the iconic checkerboard pattern underneath. The Blends x Born Free x Vans Vault OG Old Skool LX will be available online at Blends from June 27 onwards.
