Vans & DEFCON have connected once again to resurrect the Sk8-Hi Notchback Pro in rugged fashion, with three war-ready sneakers standing in the frontlines of their latest collaboration.

Arriving in camo-flavoured colours including olive, black and khaki, the collaboration presents us with some of the most durable Sk8-His yet. Made from materials originally made for US army and tactical law enforcement garments, you know that DEFCON aren’t messing around with their latest creation, which includes “Premium Waterproof and Flame Retardant Wolverine Pig Suede.” Wolverine Pig Suede? Count us in!

Despite the coarse, water-resistant exterior, the whole sneaker sits on Vans’ coveted Ultracush HD footbed, ensuring that each step is filled with cloud-like softness. The beauty is in the details with these pairs – see all the close-up images below, while the Sk8-Hi Notchback Pro is now available at Vans retailers worldwide:
