Vans is introducing a sneaker that will be set to release next year. The sneaker shown above is a new version of Vans Sk8 Hi which is product of Vans’ collaboration with a Tokyo based fashion brand, Deluxe.

This collaboration has resulted to a very unique piece of footwear using a stamped leather and simple colors. The upper of this Sk8 Hi is made from leather with a wood grain like stamps. This leather even looks like a real wood because of the texture that it gives. This is also made with perforations on the toe box to make it comfortable to wear. It also has a printed insole lining to contrast the black upper. This footwear also has a white rubber outsole with a stripe of red around it for accent.

This Sk8 Hi sneaker from Vans will be released on May 2009 but other online stores are now welcoming pre orders for as much as $150.00.
