Reinterpreting the 'Upland' silhouette from 1999, Vans look back into its past in order to accelerate into its future. The upper on the Hylane is constructed from both suede and synthetic materials, while puffy tongues and glossy Sidestripes honour that trademark '90s Californian feel. Underfoot, a reverse waffle outsole offers up time-tested glueyness for premium board poise.
