Vans Partners with The North Face for Limited Edition Collection

This October, Vans and The North Face come together to create the most technical Vans product to date in the Vault by Vans x The North Face collection. This partnership pushes the design boundaries of classic Vans silhouettes with progressive weatherproof features and The North Face technologies.

The collection between The North Face and Vans will see the release of seven different pieces, which includes new iterations of the Vans Sk8-Hi MTE LX and Desert Chukka MTE LX. Both silhouettes are reconstructed utilizing gusseted tongues, reversed waffle lug outsoles, Cosmo Comfort heat retention, The North Face winterGRIP and water-repellant leather and suede uppers. The Desert Chukka MTE LX is lined with fleece for added warmth while DRI-LEX materials and a HydroSeal membrane are integrated into the build of the Sk8-Hi MTE LX.

In addition to the Desert Chukka MTE LX and Sk8-Hi MTE LX, Vans and The North Face introduce a new take on the Nuptse Jacket, bringing the coveted checkerboard pattern to a signature outwear staple. Outfitted in a tonal black-on-black print, the Nuptse Jacket is treated with a durable water-repellant coating, lined with down insulation and double-layered in taffeta padding.

The Vault by Vans x The North Face collection retails from $120 to $300 and launches globally on Oct. 31, 2015 at select Vans retailers.
