Uncle Sam spent his teenage summers draining and skating California pools, we’d like to think this is the shoe he’d wear. For Spring/Summer 2012, Vans will be offering this festive Lo Pro rendition, aptly titled “Washed Stripe.” The shoe’s stars and stripes upper is constructed from panels of washed denim yielding a heavily ‘washed,’ vintage look, while the sole is simply Vans’s classic vulcanized rubber — perfect for a patriotic skate session. The shoe is expected to land in select Vans retailers by the end of March.
