Vans isn’t all about bejeweled Old Skools and tear-away Authentics. Holding the mantle as skateboarding’s oldest footwear brand, Vans has been known to collaborate with some of the oldest fabric brands in the industry, turning ‘70s skate silhouettes into sweaters and shawls from foreign countries and past eras.

Argyle Knit Straight from Scotland

The Pringle of Scotland x Vans Pack is the latest soft-knit pack of classic skate shoes, taking hints from the label’s past packs with Harris Tweed. Teaming up with the Scottish knitwear legends, the Pringle of Scotland collection features argyle print on pairs of the Authentic 44, Sk8-Hi Reissue 38, and Classic Slip-On 98.
