Here comes an interesting collaboration from Vans Syndicate and S/Double, the new shoe brand by none other than Shawn Stussy. Together they worked on the Sk8 Lo in two colorways. Both versions come in dark blue, featuring a mix of canvas and leather on the upper. S/Double logo details come in an accented red, matching the red lining, which features further details. We like the shoes a lot, but have to admit that we are not sure why the not yet launched S/Double shoe brand would collaborate with another shoe brand.
The Vans Syndicate x S/Double Sk8 Lo’s are now available at Univ.

I the reason why S. Stussy doesn\’t come up with own shoe model is that Vans have the established brand and mfg. capabilities that S/double does not have yet. Collaborations are one time things, I think this is a business venture between two companies instead of a special one off item.
As you said. Well put. Cheaper cost for S.Stussy in times like these
I am not sure Shawn Stussy cares at this point about the cost. Have you seen some of the footwear that the S/Double line will be producing? That footwear is much more expensive than these Syndicate sneakers. That argument does not really make sense for me. It only makes sense for me from a marketing perspective and even that….
