Custom Kicks: theMenace Vans Sk8-Hi Selvage Denim X Fully Laced

• Tweet

These custom Selvedge Denim Vans Sk8-Hi were spotted over at Paint of Thread, done by theMenace. Six pairs were done in all, in collaboration with both Fully Laced and Shuttleloom Denim. Using a deconstructed aesthetic, the kicks feature gold stitching as well as gold lace locks. Each one of the pairs is a one of a kind release, all featuring perfect fraying along the hems, looking as if they came off of the factory floor that way. Check out what theMenace has to say, and check out his site for purchase info:

Simply put, this model is for the denim connoisseurs; the ones who size down, soak and wear their “second skin” religiously. Those with just a few favorite pairs on rotation, the individuals who have reached and often surpass the ever more used ” 6 months no wash ” phrase. Denim is one of, if not the most common and versatile fundamentally basic materials in the world; this marriage of denim and sneaker was inevitable. A collaborative effort, this is Series 1 featuring a classic indigo fully stitched 13.25oz raw denim upper. With light aesthetically hand frayed edges, in theory with the natural bending of the foot as with selvage denim jeans these should fade, honeycomb and whisker as they are worn and aged by the owner. Be sure to take photos after 3 months, 6 months and 1 year worth of wears for your WDYWT post!
