FAQs

What does 'LX' mean in Vans LX Old Skool?

The 'LX' designation typically refers to premium or deluxe versions of classic Vans models, often featuring enhanced materials, construction, or unique design elements compared to standard releases.

Is this shoe suitable for professional skateboarding?

While the Old Skool silhouette is a classic skate shoe and this model features durable construction, the unique materials and collaboration details might make users prefer to reserve them for casual wear or less demanding skate sessions to preserve their aesthetic.

How do I know if I have the correct size?

Refer to Vans' official size chart for accurate measurements. Ensure a snug but comfortable fit, with enough room in the toe box to avoid discomfort during wear.

What is the significance of the Bape collaboration?

The collaboration signifies a fusion between skateboarding heritage (Vans) and influential Japanese streetwear culture (Bape), resulting in a highly sought-after and collectible sneaker.

Can I wear these shoes in wet conditions?

These sneakers are primarily made of canvas and suede, which are not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to prevent damage and discoloration.

What do the different colors on each shoe represent?

The asymmetrical color blocking is a design choice by Bape and Vans, deliberately creating distinct visual profiles for the left and right shoe, enhancing the uniqueness of the multi-camo pattern.

Troubleshooting

Slight color variation from images

Due to the nature of the asymmetrical print and varying production runs, slight variations in color placement and intensity are normal and part of the unique design.

Creasing on the toe box

Creasing is a natural occurrence with most footwear, especially canvas and suede. To minimize its appearance, consider using shoe trees when not wearing them and avoid overly tight fits.

Laces get dirty quickly

The white laces can easily pick up dirt. They can be removed and hand-washed separately with mild soap and water, then air-dried.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These are ready-to-wear sneakers straight out of the box. No specific setup is required beyond ensuring they are the correct size.

Compatibility: The Vans LX Old Skool Bape ABC Multi-Camo is designed for general footwear use and casual skateboarding. It is compatible with various casual outfits, including jeans, shorts, and joggers.

Care: To maintain the vibrant appearance of the multi-camo print and the shoe's condition:

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft brush or a damp cloth to gently wipe away dirt and dust. For tougher stains, use a mild soap solution and a cloth, then wipe with clean water. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  2. Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use to prevent fading and material degradation. Consider using shoe trees to maintain their shape.
