Vans launches a military-inspired series of its most classic sneakers, reshaping and introducing a myriad of new functions. 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.

This “Military Function” pack has launched a total of three colors in military green, black and dark blue, each are available now through designated Vans flagship stores. Look through the gallery and share your thoughts in the comments below.
