After first glance you might mistake these Del Barco Lo LX’s for just another black/white colorway of Vans’ deck shoe. But pay close attention to that LX—it stands for not-many-other-people-will-have-these. This make-up off of Vans’ Vault line features premium materials like tweed and quality leather, and will only be available at select retailers around the country. If you’re looking to step up in time for the last stretch of summer, check your local VVault store.

We’ve always loved Authentics because it’s the type of sneaker you’re not afraid to beat up during summer months. Besides them coming in all colors, it’s not going to hurt your pockets when it’s time to re-up.
That said, some are more high-brow than others, which takes us to this perforated black/blue colorway off Vans’ more exclusive Vault line. Think of these when it’s time to compliment the chinos, not the ripped skinny jeans. Check VV retailers right now.

“Talking so much white it’ll hurt your eyes” word to Young Jeezy, warm-weather is all about trapping down a sick pair of white sneakers for the season, like these Halfcabs.
A step up from usual in-line HC’s, these Cabs are off Vans’ Vault line and are tricked out in premium leather, which means they won’t get as easily scuffed during drunken beach club nights this summer. Look for these in Vault retailers right now.
