Editor’s Notes: This new collaboration with Paris-based retailer Starcow is a retro addition to two of Vans Vaults’ most popular styles.

The Chukka LX is all about contrast, with its true blue body color offset by a black sole, while striking white stitching on its mesh upper is contrasted with a slick suede toe cap.

Featuring the same contrast stitching — the defining design feature of this new collaboration — the Old Skool Lite iteration is a new take on the classic black skate sneaker, but with textural suede detailing throughout.

As is standard with Vans Vault sneakers, each pair comes with an extra set of laces, padded ankle collar, trademark waffle rubber outsoles, and bright red logo on the back of the sole.
