With the arrival of an unexpected Michelin collaboration, Vans Vault has also revealed a new capsule of hard-wearing GORE-TEX shoes. The new release sees the classic Sk8-Hi and Old Skool silhouettes, which have both been given the outdoor-themed treatment.

As well as the use of GORE-TEX membranes on the shoes, other materials used include a hard-wearing canvas texture, touches of premium nubuck and a lightweight ULTRACUSH midsole. Both silhouettes come in either all-black, or a ”Fallen Rock” and “Evergreen” colorway. Take a look at the sneakers above, and head over to the HAVEN web store to pick them up.

In related news, Vans recently partnered with BILLY’s for a new checkered collection.
