Hockey and Vans Join Forces on the Authentic Hi Sneakers
Hockey and Vans work in collaboration on a new set of the Authentic Hi sneaker model by Andrew Allen. There are two new colorways that are introduced: the first one is a bright red and the second is a clean white option. Both iterations are constructed with elevated materials from the original models.
Each pair is made with classic canvas materials at the upper and features contrasting stitching as well. The underlay is made using Duracap technology and can withstand the terrain of a skateboard's griptape. New touches include the production method implemented that takes away any hot spots where friction or any head can build up over the time period that wearers are skating.
