Vans differs from its competitors in one distinguishing thing. During those decades of satisfying not only skaters from around the world, almost every released silhouette gained the status of a legendary sneaker. Everybody knows models such as Era, Old-Skool or Authentic. The Vans Vault product line represents these legendary models’ heritage.

The Vault by Vans segment officially started in 2003, with the brand offering their classic style in unique collections and colorways, featuring relevant artists from street fashion, art, music and skate and surfing subcultures lending their hand to collaborate.

HIGHER QUALITY? YES.

It’s not just about the design. Vans Vault sneakers also have much higher standards for quality. Next time you’re shopping for a pair of Vans, look out for the models with LX in the title. This means they are made from better materials, and you can find them in all of the Vans Vault sneakers.

LX isn’t the only way the Vault sneakers titles differ from regular ones. Instead of names like Old Skool, Sk8-Hi or Era, the original numbering is used – 36, 38 etc.
