Jason Jesse is the latest person to design a shoe for Vans, and in this case, for the Vans Syndicate Collection. The model of choice is the classic SK8-Hi, which sports a black leather upper along with a caramel stripe along the top of the midsole. They also feature a white midsole and contrast stitching, which clashes with the black and therefore draws more attention to the shoe. They are scheduled to hit select Vans accounts in 2009, but we’ll inform you guys once we learn more. via Off The Wall.

They feature a more upscale look as copared to the average skater look that they always go for, and are seen here in a woodgrain-like leather upper with red and white accents. Deluxe has also constructed a line of clotheing that sort of goes with the Sk8 Hi. They will not be released until next year, but Dedue is now taking pre-orders for the Deluxe x Vans SK8-HI.
