VANDAL IN DISTRESS
Nike is celebrating 1985 in a big way this year. Although the focus is on the Dunk, we have recently seen the Terminator being sanctioned with a special vintage-treated release, and now we find the Vandal being given the same honour. The mixture of weather-beaten canvas uppers and nylon tongues make these kicks insanely comfortable right out of the box.
And for all those who say they can easily get a used pair from 2003 at a flea market for cheap, we have to remind you there is distinction between being made to appear well-seasoned opposed to being totally thrashed around in. Think pre-distressed denim VS what some guy has been sweating in for 5 years.
The Vintage Vandal High is slated for a Summer 2008 drop, whilst it is not known yet if they will see a South East Asian release.

[...] Nike gives the Vandal high a vintage makeover. It features white weather-beaten canvas uppers and nylon tongues along with red and blue accents, much like the American flag. These vintage Vandals should hit stores this Summer. [Streething] [...]

[...] This pair of Vandals has the classic nylon tongue and canvas upper. To give it some age, the soles have been slightly scuffed and some minor “roughing up” to the upper. Look for these to start releasing this summer. Pics thanks to Streething. [...]

[...] They present a good mixture of weather-beaten canvas uppers and nylon tongues. According to Streething these will be dropping this summer. More pics after the jump. Source: http://www.highsnobiety.com [...]
