Undefeated’s iconic U-Man mascot debuted in 2007 as part of a Sk8-Hi collaboration. It was created by American contemporary artist Geoff McFetridge. And with the fourth Old Skool collaboration underway, thus the return of the U-Man.

The latest features lush suede toes and heels in Grasshopper green, juxtaposed against the patterned canvas of the upper. A departure from 2021’s “Bistro Green” colorway, this time adopting a darker shade. Like its predecessor however, this upcoming take is embellished with an “UNDFTD” lace dubrae, as well as custom insoles.

The Undefeated x Vans Old Skool LX “Grasshopper” is scheduled to drop on 13 October, exclusive to Undefeated’s brick-and-click stores.
