Palace Skateboards and Vans are dropping are dropping a sequel to their Low skate shoe, adding another chapter to their partnership rooted in skate culture and street heritage.

The Palace Low 2 is designed with skate-focused tooling: PopCush insoles, DuraCap underlays, and SickStick rubber waffle outsoles for ultimate protection and reliability. Each pair also features a dragon logo on the tongue and midfoot—reminiscent of skate legend Steve Caballero’s signature dragon emblem. It comes in three colorways: black with gum, pure white, and wheat yellow with black.

The Palace Low was initially introduced in 2023 as a hybrid shoe with design elements pulled from Caballero’s Half Cab and Mike Carroll’s signature Vans sneaker.

The accompanying campaign for the Low 2 includes a satirical video starring Palace and Vans riders Danny Brady and Rory Milanes as they attend the “Skate Shoe Of The Year” Awards. Upon accepting the award for Best Supporting Cushioning System in a Vulcanized Low-Top, the duo reflect on the magic that happens when the “crazy Californian bastards” at Vans link up with the London-based Palace team.

The Palace x Vans Low 2 will be available February 27th at Palace stores and on the Palace website (11am ET). Check out all three colorways below.
