Vans is one of the most well-known footwear names on the planet, but even the brand that has helped define “cool” for the past half century and counting still has some under-the-radar styles.
To that end, its newest release, a three-way collaborative effort with two streetwear brands, sees one of Vans’s lesser-known models get a rugged refresh, complete with a military-inspired aesthetic overhaul.
If you’re looking for a shoe that will stand out from the crowd while maintaining style street cred, there may not be a better option out there.
Climbing the ranks
The all-new Vans Seylynn is part of a three-shoe collaboration among luxury streetwear brand OAMC, the Japanese streetwear label WTAPS and, of course, the aforementioned skate shoe behemoth.
The refreshed model is based off a deep-cut Vans silhouette first released in 2011, the Zero Low. Although it didn’t make headlines quite like the brand’s Old Skool or Sk8-Hi, the minimal shoe is a certified underrated style star, designed by OAMC co-founder Luke Meier.
