Vans is teaming up with skate team rider Gilbert Crockett on a new colourway of the Crockett Hi as well as a well-organized clothing pack paying homage to his raw but refined style.

Also defined by quality and detail both on and off the board, Gilbert’s mark on skateboarding has been shaped by his adaptive nature, which shines through in everything he does. Likewise, his interest in design and construction is a catalyst in the creation of his iconic Vans shoe and apparel designs. With a keen sense of form and function, as well as an appreciation for retro influences, Gilbert teamed up with Vans on this latest colourway of the Crockett Hi which is dressed in a neutral elastic drawstring and a black colourway. .

The Vans Crockett Hi elevates its classic pro model shoe with a retro, military-inspired silhouette. Details include DURACAP reinforcement in high wear areas which prolong the life of the shoe and a PopCush ™ sockliner for impact protection and energy return. In addition, the sneaker also features a Wafflecup ™ outsole with the best combination of vulcanized feel and boardfeel in the forefoot, support in the midfoot and heel, and rugged durability. Unique details can be found on the sockliner featuring Crockett’s dragon artwork, along with a Vans x Gilbert Crockett woven diamond-shaped tongue tag.

Gilbert’s love for vintage, well-worn quality pieces was the inspiration behind a clothing pack that was built to work and last. The Drill Chore Coat features Gilbert’s custom embroidered dragon art, which is also featured prominently on the Crockett Hi. Everyday basics like the Authentic Chino Loose pants, a woven chambray button fastening, a hoodie, long sleeves and a striped tee complete the collection, as well as a tote bag with interior pockets and exterior. A personalized Vans x Gilbert Crockett diamond-shaped patch appears throughout the apparel collection.

The Gilbert Crockett x Vans Crockett Hi & Utility-Inspired clothing collection is available now at Vans stores and at Vans.com/Skate.
