Two iconic institutions on opposite coasts of the Pacific have convened in the AAPE by A Bathing Ape x Vans collection, bringing the signature Ape Camo pattern to Vans’ electrifying Bolt iterations of its classics. Dropping in both the Sk8-Hi and Authentic, this capsule is continues their longstanding partnership, with the AAPE sub-label taking the helm.
This Vans Sk8-Hi bolt sees classic suede overlays in two-toned grey, with the signature Snow Camo graphic adorning the canvas portion of the upper. A frigid blue jazz stripe sits right above the lightning bolt detailing that rises above the vulcanized midsole, which also reads “apes and planet earth”. The Authentic follows a similar formula, with suede toes matches with the patterned fabric.
Both the Sk8-Hi and Authentic Bolt will arrive in grey snow camo and in olive; these are set to drop soon at Vans retailers globally, and are currently available at Up There in Australia.
