Supreme x Vans Skate Grosso 2022 Collaboration


Following its Summer 2022 Tee release, Supreme is returning to its major collaboration series for the Summer 2022 season. Reconnecting with Vans for its latest footwear offering, the team-up features a new version of the Vans Skate Grosso Mid.

Made exclusively for Supreme, the Skate Grosso Mid will be offered in three colourways marked by original artwork by Nate Lowman. The artwork by the American artist was featured in a Spring 2022 collaboration with Supreme comprised of a Work Vest, Sweater, Short Sleeve Shirt, Hooded Sweatshirt and Painter Pant.

The Supreme x Vans Skate Grosso Mid sees professional skateboarder and skate documentarian Jeff Grosso’s signature model rendered with premium suede and canvas uppers. Accenting the uppers are moulded heel counters and locked-in tongue straps. The uppers are also marked with printed bullet hole graphics, contrast stitching, Grosso tongue tags and the usual Vans tags and branding.

Elevating the uppers are two-part foxing, tougher toe knurl, sidewall finish and vulcanized original waffle outsoles, assisted by PopCush sock liners and insoles. Finishing the design of the collaboration are custom heel license plates marking the latest team-up.

The Supreme x Vans Skate Grosso Mid collaboration featuring Nate Lowman artwork will see a global release, available via the streetwear imprint’s website on July 7, 11 a.m. EDT in the United States and July 9, 11 a.m. JST in Japan.
