The “Military Function Series” will include the Sk8-Hi Reissue V, Old Skool V and Classic Slip-On silhouettes with water repellent constructions and nylon/suede paneling for warmth. The upgraded models will also replace its traditional lacing with a “hook and loop” Velcro strap system to protect from wear and tear.
