Vans Sk8-Mid Reissue 83 LX "Checkerboard - Black" VN000CQQ2BO

The Vans Sk8-Mid Reissue 83 LX “Checkerboard – Black” VN000CQQ2BO is a reimagined version of a classic silhouette that has its roots in the skateboarding culture of the 90s. This period saw skaters modifying their footwear for better performance, leading to the creation of a mid-top sneaker that combined functionality with a distinct design. The sneaker revisits these origins, incorporating features like a retro toebox stitch, a single row collar, and a refined Sidestripe, which were all hallmark characteristics of the original model.

Crafted from a combination of 8 oz. canvas and suede, the uppers are designed to offer durability against the demands of both skateboarding and daily wear. The inclusion of a full-grain leather collar lining not only enhances the comfort but also adds a premium touch to the sneaker’s overall construction. Additionally, the sneaker boasts a gloss finish on the high sidewall, alongside a patterned outsole, ensuring both aesthetic appeal and practicality in terms of grip and longevity.

Completing the design are the cotton lace-up closure and rubber heel logo, features that ensure a secure fit and echo the brand’s iconic heritage. The “Checkerboard – Black” colourway of the Vans Sk8-Mid Reissue 83 LX maintains a timeless appeal, making it a versatile addition to any collection. With its thoughtful blend of historical cues and modern updates, this sneaker is poised to resonate with individuals who value both the legacy and evolution of skateboarding footwear.
