Vans Vault has been killing it with their reconstructed classic silhouettes. The most recent iteration, the Bricolage look, gives a patchwork look to the Sk8-Hi and Classic Slip-On, both of which are now available in the new “Tropical” pack.


Vans are a known staple not only among sneakerheads but anyone who knows a thing or two about style. While the classic silhouettes are great, its always appreciated when brands go the extra mile, offering interesting new variations of their fan-favorite styles. Luckily, Vans is in agreement with me on this, as their Vault by Vans sector (founded in 2003) represents the top-tier of product from the California-based brand.

This month, Vault by Vans is continuing their patchwork Bricolage styling for the Sk8-Hi and Slip-On silhouettes, which takes premium colorways places large patches in opposing colors and exposed seams in prominent locations on either shoe. While the Bricolage collection started off the year with plain white and black colorways, the latest drop finds the pair of classics covered in a tropical print. One set of the Sk8-Hi and Slip-On comes in black and white, while the other features bright accents in pink and teal.

The Vans Vault Bricolage LX “Tropical” pack is available now from select retailers like Feature, with more stockists expected to add them to their lineup soon. The Sk8-Hi pairs go for an easy $110, while the low cut slip-on retails for just $90.
