2012 will go down as a year filled with patterns both established and newfangled and whether it’s the start of something enduring as we might expect given all the new developments, or just a temporary movement like the color trending that surrounds each Air Jordan XI Retro, Vans will be remembered as having been well ahead of the curve. Off the Wall has been offering dope prints for almost as long as the Van Doren brothers have offered Waffle soles, and this new set dropping for the holiday season reminds us that they still offer an unparalleled variety. The latest release is a new Vans Sk8-Hi with a paint-look American flag on the side panels, whose white contrast-stitched navy suede ‘frame’ furthers the Stars and Stripes look. Let us know where these rank against all the other eye-catching Vans we’ve seen this year and grab these from Offspring.
