BLENDS Reunites With Vault by Vans for Another Bone Jazz Stripe Footwear "Unreleased Pack"
The SoCal retailer reworks the Old Skool LX and Sk8-Hi Reissue Zip LX with black bumpers










Vault by Vans has definitely built out its range of collaborations with a hefty amount of partners in recent years, but few have the history and heritage of its relationship with BLENDS. The Southern California-based streetwear and sneakers boutique has joined forces with the Anaheim sub-label on a variety of different footwear initiatives, and now they’re adding one more entry to their catalog: the “Unreleased Pack.”
The duo has dug into their archives to highlight the Sk8-Hi Reissue Zip LX VLT and Old Skool LX VLT — two silhouettes that were once left as samples. Both iterations are designed with elements that are signature to the BLENDS x Vault by Vans partnership but also usher in subtle modifications. Both iterations are constructed with a solid black leather build and come fitted with white, bone-shaped jazz stripes on the side panels. To give the kicks a refreshing look, BLENDS has reworked the midsoles with stark black bumpers.
