In honor of skater Steve Olson, Vans is releasing two models – the V79 “S” and the V79 Hi “S”. Olson was a revolutionary, introducing the masses to hardcore punk rock culture in the 70′s and helping to mold the skating world into what it is today.

Both of these shoes features the same material and silhouette, the only difference being Hi and Lo. The sneakers offer an all black suede snakeskin upper, which is contrasted by a white rubber midsole and toe.

Even if you aren’t a big skating fan, these black shoes are definitely worth a look. Expect these to be released later this summer. Via Vans.
