Here’s a preview of Van’s Fall 2009 releases. Vans presents “Deconstruct Pack” which features a total of 4 classic Sk8 Hi’s in 4 colorways: black/black, true white, checkerboard & red/white. The difference from the original SK8 Hi is in the upper, fully realized in cloth, without the various pads on the neck and the classic brand logo in the middle.

The reflective neon accents will not just protect you from danger when you skate late at night: they will reflect the light of stars on you, will sprinkle pixie dust on your past, and shower you in the dazzling shine of the bright future that awaits you with this pair.
Vans is the vanguard of style and elegance in the sneaker world. Vans is the vanquisher of the mediocre. Vans is the guard of the sneaker altar. And in this splendid design, we see them conquer all foes and detractors with an invincible strike of the sword of creativity. Well done Vans. This is a design that will be remembered for generations.
Catch these at ABCSmart, if they don’t catch you first. They are so attractive, and this is the time for romantism.
Increasing collaboration between different brands is the trend these days. The Japanese brand Deluxe and Vans have joined hands before, most notably in November, but we must admit that the pure perfection of this pair is a lot better than anything that they have created so far.
The black/white colorway of the pair is pure but powerful in its superior conception. The form of the shoe owes a lot to the classic Vans concept, but its reinforced with various touches of exclusive Deluxe creativity, as seen on the heel and the upper.
Collaboration is good for sneaker lovers, good for the industry, and good for us commentators. To be sure, seeing better designs created by the combined creativity of various masters is inspirational to writers too. These are expected to release in the near future, but there’s no official word on when. We’ll update you and fallen heroes of the past on the release. Via Hypebeast.

Personally, I like the Hi, but it depends on your own style – all three models have their merits. Available now at a Vans retailer near you.
