Vans and The North Face are both California brands originally founded in 1966, collaborating frequently over the years. The Vans Sk8-Hi 46 MTE DX The North Face Red showcases this partnership. This sneaker features a weather-resistant black suede upper with overlays made from red laminate ballistic nylon, the same material used for North Face's Base Camp Duffel bag. The high-top design includes a white midsole and a vulcanized lug outsole inspired by North Face's snow boots, ensuring superior traction. Enhanced with Vans' patented MTE 360 technology, it keeps feet warm and dry. The standout branding, especially the white North Face logos on the heel, highlights this iconic Vans silhouette. Released on November 3, 2017, it retailed for $100.
