Highs & Lows, a footwear retailer that's based in Australia, joined with Vans for a dual-branded selection of sneakers that was made to celebrate the 10th anniversary of its partnership.
With two variations available to them, consumers can find the Highs & Lows and Vans collaborative designs in either the 'Sk8-Hi' or the 'Old Skool.' Both feature sleek black and white colorways -- the former model marked by a pattern of repeating scales on the upper while the latter's is completely black, apart from the sole and stitches on the side that liken it to Vans.
This design also includes a silver zipper on the side, giving the simple sneakers a bit more flair. In order to further celebrate the Highs & Lows name, both models include its name on the bottom of the soles, which can be seen through the translucent rubber.
