Vans and BILLY’s TOKYO have once again teamed up to deliver a new set of the OG Sk8-Hi LX. Arriving in three iterations, the latest offering moves away from the crazier, print-heavy designs of their previous exclusives, instead utilizing a tri-colored motif in hues of yellow and green, blue and red and navy and brown. The high-cut silhouette features the main color of choice on its upper, heavily contrasted by the opposing hits on the Jazz Stripe and eyestays. Branding hits land on the white and red tongue tag and heel plate, finally tied together with white laces for a clean finish.

All three colorways of the BILLY’s TOKYO x Vans OG Sk8-Hi LX are available now on the BILLY’s TOKYO website for ¥11,000 JPY (approximately $100 USD) plus tax.
