JJJJound x Vault by Vans Unveil Minimalist Sk8-Mid

JJJJound, the Montreal-based design studio founded by Justin Saunders, has given the Vault by Vans Style 37 skate sneaker (more commonly known as the Sk8-Mid) a sophisticated makeover.

A special-edition release, the Style 37 -- a high-top silhouette that first launched in 1978, and was later reissued and reimagined as the Sk8-Mid -- features subtle design details that reflect JJJJound's signature minimalist aesthetic. Constructed with a durable canvas upper and finished with a suede tongue and overlays, the timeless shoe comes in three elevated neutral colorways: black, brown and olive green, each consciously picked to create the feel of heavily used skate sneakers. The black iteration is designed with tonal branding and laces, while the other two styles boast a contrasting white sidestripe on the lateral, and matching laces to boot.

The JJJJound x Vault by Vans Sk8-Mid VLT LX "Black" drops on August 10, while the "Brown" and "Green" colorways are slated to launch on August 11 and August 12 respectively. Priced at $150 USD, all three pairs will be available at 12 p.m. EST on their release dates at the JJJJound website.

Those who miss the initial drops may find the collaboration at Vault by Vans retail locations globally starting August 14.
