During the 1980s and 90s, 'The Rat' (officially known as the Rathskeller) held a prominent position as one of Boston's most renowned music venues. In order to pay homage to this legendary spot, Vans collaborated with Syndicate, a brand based in California, to introduce a special edition of their timeless Old Skool sneakers. The Concepts x Syndicate Old Skool Pro 'Rat Hunter' shoe showcases an Off-White upper alongside washed blue denim side paneling. The midsole features a distinctive white and red checkerboard pattern, while cracked grey leather accents can be found on the eyestay and side stripe. Additionally, the inserts boast co-branded logos, further highlighting the partnership between these two influential brands.
