The paisley vans Sk8-Mid family
The paisley vans Sk8 family continues to grow in number. Chopping a few inches off the Sk8-Hi's collar, the Anaheim-based created a mid version of the same classic silhouette.
The Sk8-Mid is not alone within its ranks. Case in point: it is joined by two other over-the-ankle offerings—the retro Vans Sk8-Mid Reissue and skater-friendlier Vans SK8-Mid Pro. The former is fantastic on and off the board with its minimal collar padding, while the latter boasts increased boardfeel and heel cushioning.
