While DEFCON origins remain classified, the projects stamped with their namesake speak volumes. Vans reunites with the stealth collective this spring to resurrect the Vans Sk8-Hi Notchback Pro, engineered with three new Multicam patterns, Arid, Tropic, and Black, specifically designed to reduce the visual and near-Infrared signature of a person in three distinct environments.

As an ode to past projects, the Vans DEFCON Multicam capsule comes full circle, completing the footwear outfit with new apparel fabrics originally developed for the US Army and tactical law enforcement.

Look for the DEFCON x Vans Sk8-Hi Notchback and matching apparel to release on May 27th at select Vans Pro Skate retailers worldwide.
