Special for the holiday season is a new collection from Vans – the Scotchgard collection. Three silhouettes are set to be released in a pair of colorways each – the 106 Vulcanized, Era 59, and the Sk8-Hi. The sneakers will be outfitted with premium pig suede around the upper, lined with fleece at the interior (only on the 106 Vulcanized and Sk8-Hi), and feature a reverse waffle tread for extra traction during the cold, wet season. Perhaps most importantly though, the exterior is treated with Scotchgard™ to repel stains, liquids, and dirt. Accordingly, the Scotchgard pack is an ideal alternative to weightier winter options without sacrificing protection. Look for the Scotchgard™ collection at select Vans retailers now, starting at $65 USD.

And tucked inside that shift is one of the more unusual comeback stories in alternative health: the return of Rife frequencies. Read more
