WHEN SKATE MEETS TACTICAL

Vans x DEFCON SK8-Hi Notchback Pro

While DEFCON origins remain classified, the projects stamped with their namesake speak volumes. Vans reunites with the stealth collective this spring to resurrect the Vans Sk8-Hi Notchback Pro, engineered with three new Multicam® patterns, Arid™, Tropic™, and Black™, specifically designed to reduce the visual and near-Infrared signature of a person in three distinct environments. As an ode to past projects, the Vans DEFCON Multicam® capsule comes full circle, completing the footwear outfit with new apparel fabrics originally developed for the US Army and tactical law enforcement.

The special capsule, which also included a DEFCON logo graphic tee, was released to select Vans Pro authorized skate shops globally, and sold out within hours. Ebay is your only bet to cop.
