Civilist And Vans Go “Back To The Roots” With New Sk8-Low Collection_Stroll and Speak Boldly

Berlin’s Civilist and California’s Vans are no strangers to collaborative projects that celebrate skateboarding and the spaces that’ve allowed the sport to grow. For their latest joint-effort, both brands have joined forces to deliver three colorways of the Sk8-Low.

With the help of Carsten Fock, renowned for his fashion, pop culture and politics-inspired graphics and paintings, both global institutions have paid homage to Germany’s capital. All three options included in the capsule feature Fock’s pencil-drawn letters embroidered on the Sk8-Low’s suede upper: “SAY GOODBYE TO THE CITY” and “BACK TO THE ROOTS” messaging appear on the sidewall and sock-liner, respectively, while “I ONCE WAS IN BERLIN” makes its way onto the shoe box. Navy and black colorways will see a global launch, while the white style will be exclusive to Civilist outposts.

Enjoy product imagery for each pair here below. The collection will be available in-store at Civilist on Wednesday, July 28th, online at Civilist on July 29th and at select skate shops across the globe on July 30th.
