Vans Hylane Shoes. The Hylane is a Y2K skate-inspired shoe that reinterprets our Upland silhouette from 1999. Nods to the past coexist alongside elevated design details like the 3D glossed Sidestripe and embroidered logos, while the chunky stance and puffy skate tongue provide a retro look and feel. Finished with a cupsole construction and a unique interlocking V texture, the Hylane transforms an old school aesthetic into today’s wardrobe essential. Leather and synthetic uppers. Glossy puff Sidestripe. Puffy Y2K skate tongue. Sturdy Cupsole construction. Chunky sidewall design with compression channel. Reverse waffle outsole with oversized Vans logo and flex grooves. Imported.
