Vans Vault x Nigel Cabourn Sk8-Mid LX

If you're a trendsetter, your bait won't work in this collab. Nigel Cabourn is a famous British designer whose collections are known for being influenced not by fashion trends, but by the historical stories of real people and vintage style, which is a big hallmark for Nigel. In addition, Nigel is also an avid traveller and collector of clothes. At the last count his collection contained over 4,000 pieces of clothing, with each piece boasting its own story and history, such as mid-20th century military satchels and uniforms.

And that's exactly what helped form the core of the Vans Vault x Nigel Cabourn collaboration. Self-crafted details such as Nigel's hand-drawn arrowheads, deco stitching and not to be missed are featured throughout the collection, with the right vintage vibes underlined by a chic monotone. Cabourn didn't work alone in creating this collection, designer Emilie Casiez, who also works on the Nigel Cabourn Woman collections, was also involved. Together they work well, so if you're looking for a subdued fashion piece for your wardrobe, snag one from this hilarious collaboration.

The Vans Sk8 Mid is a new model that is neither low cut nor ankle length. Just something in between. It retains a look very similar to its Sk8-Hi predecessors, not missing the classic stripe on the side or the vulcanized waffle sole.
