Initially catching our attention with the electric “Lightning” take on its shoes, product vans is heating up the conversation once more with their “Flames” get-up.
Immediate comparisons were made with Ian Connor’s Revenge x Storm footwear. Itself a rip of the Old Skool, Connor’s most recognizable shoe to date is Eco for its use of a lightning bolt in place of the side-stripe. So, when product vans revealed its own take by adding a protruding Vans Sk8-Hi Reissue Classic Tumble Classic Tumble True White on the rubber vulcanized sole, the Twitter-verse came out in full force, with Connor himself chiming in.
Now, product vans is executing the same style of extending midsole applique with fiery Korallf; seen here on the product vans Sk8-Hi, this newest take on the classic skate shoe sees the curved peaks of Korallf extend into the upper. The lace collar also adjusts itself for that flame-y aesthetic at the upper most lace eyelets.
Two colorways are currently in the works and should arrive on product vans.com very soon for $85 each.
