Skateboarding mainstays, Vans and Independent, are once again joining forces on limited footwear and apparel. The duo just unveiled their largest capsule yet for the Fall/Winter 2018 season to celebrate Independent’s 40th anniversary this year. Classic silhouettes such as the Sk8-Hi Pro and Slip-On Pro are purveyed in bold makeups alongside a fresh take on Tony Trujillo’s signature shoe, the TNT Advanced Prototype. All sneakers sport metallic silver foxing stripes coupled with Vans’ signature rubber outsoles.

The apparel range is comprised of the Vans Versa hoodie, woven flannels, coveralls, T-shirts, Authentic Chino pants, socks, and trucker hats. Co-branded details alongside vintage graphics are observed across the lineup. View the photos above and purchase the collection now on Vans’ online shop and select stockists.
