In February, we presented some pictures of the Vans Forty-Four High Pack, a collection of sneakers designed by established skate shops from the east coast, west coast, Europe, and a mystery designer.

Vans innovative new model, Forty-Four High, features a dope Grey / Gold / RipStop color scheme that’s comprised of suede, Ripstop Nylon, and Wool throughout the upper. There’s also white & gold leather along the Vans symbol along the sides and gold accents on the inner lining of the tongue and back heel.
The “Grey/Gold” Forty-Four High will be a east coast exclusive and will only be available on that coast, but BuySkateShoes currently have some in-stock. Retail $75.
