These kicks are fall must-haves—whether you actually get to have that amazing back-to-school feeling, or you just want to pretend. (I take shortcuts across the university campus near my house and just breathe it in again sometimes…)
OTH, the killer Montreal streetwear boutique, is releasing its latest collab with Vans this weekend. The Varsity Pack collection is inspired by those perfectly broken-in felt and leather jackets that started off on the backs of athletes (you know, the ones you used to steal from your boyfriend who was on the hockey team) but are now ripping up the runways. I love anything that manages to nail the mix of old meets new, and cool meets comfort. T
he Sk8-Hi shoes ($135, above) and the low top Authentic version ($95) will be available at offthehook.ca.
