UPS is known for its dedication. They deliver packages under various conditions throughout the year, which makes their blue uniforms (and the recognizable USPS Eagle logo) an unexpected sign of workwear style. Vans celebrated this by authorizing USPS colors for the first ever footwear and apparel.

Shipped as part of this series are four classic Vans models: Sk8-Hi MTE-1, Sk8-Hi Reissue, Authentic and Old Skool. Sk8-Hi MTE-1 combines the USPS blue dress with dark "blue fog" tones. It uses a vulcanized all-terrain outsole, lamb velvet lining collar, heel pull loop and reflective tongue badge to make a variety of elements Be prepared. The eagle of the postal service is printed on the side half of each collar, eye-catching and proud, as the finishing touch. Sk8-Hi Reissue is a Priority Mail Box in the form of shoes, thanks to the full-body Priority Mail print with red laces dotted with red text on the midsole (exclusive sale at Foot Locker on January 20).

The Authentic collection is made of light blue denim, inspired by USPS uniforms. It is also decorated with a custom brand from heel to toe, and is marked with a unique seal pattern on the tongue.

Finally, Old Skool is made of soft white knurled leather, jazz stripes and collar trim with the iconic USPS color, the US Postal logo directly below the midsole, and its own embossed tongue badge. Each is packaged in a fully customized shoe box that matches the USPS Priority Mail and box, and is lined with co-branded tissue paper.

Clothing products include the "Bulk Mail" pullover hooded sweatshirt and pocket T-shirt and the "Priority" beanie, all presented in navy blue. This hoodie is made of heavyweight 320gsm fleece fabric and has three popular patterns: embroidered with USPS truck pattern on the chest, pattern printed on the left sleeve, and quite large high-density print on the back. The pocket T-shirt has a small label attached directly to the pocket, with a large Postal Service graphic printed on the back, a large patch on the front of the beanie, and Vans embroidery on the back.

The Vans x USPS series will be available in limited quantities at Vans.com, designated Vans retailers, FootLocker.com and Foot Locker stores from November 29th. In addition, Foot Locker will launch an exclusive Sk8-Hi Reissue on January 20. Shoes range from US$65 to US$115, and clothing ranges from US$28 to US$75.
