After being spotlighted in collaborations with LQQK Studios and Quasi Skateboards, Vans Vault has now added its vintage Epoch Sport model to its ongoing mainline.

Originally released in 1994, Vans’ archive division recently reissued the Epoch Sport with a modern rework utilizing updated materials. Available in “Marshmallow,” “Cumin” and “Black” looks, the retro footwear option features a paneled suede upper accented by a contoured toe cap, vintage leather Flying “V” logo and a classic tongue label. Finally a full leather lining, clean slightly off white vulcanized midsole and traction-focussed waffle outsole round up the design of the reissue.

Priced at $68 USD, the Vans Vault Epoch Sport LX reissue is available now at select retailers like HAVEN.

In case you missed it, the upcoming WTAPS x Vans collab was spotlighted in Patta’s latest editorial.
