Vans has collaborated with Japanese boutique shop Flauge to bring back one of their classics – the Sk8-Hi Check.

This pack features several Sk8-Hi’s in a variety of colors. The toe and front of each shoe is black. However each features a different color checked pattern on the sides of the uppers. They also have a black and white checked pattern on the outer sole.I really love the use of white contrast stitching against the black.

These shoes are only 8,925 yen (around $79 USD) and are available exclusive at Flauge.

These particular SB’s come in a red/pink clay colorway representing the New England Lobster along with asockliner/insoles representing the lobster bib and the spots are symbolic for the spots on a lobster and will come with a blue wristband around the toe, as in the rubber bands seen on lobster claws. Set to release Summer 2008. via NSB

These sneakers combine red leather, along with denim with a cement print to create these very unique looking shoes.

They even have the Levi’s signature red tab tag on the side panel. There’s no word on the price or release date yet, but hopefully that info will be out soon.Check out all the photos.
