Strutting down the runway with attitude is definitely one of Natalie Westling's forte. But in case you aren't aware of this, Natalie Westling is also an avid skateboarder, having picked up skateboarding since she was three. Hence, she is definitely the perfect fit as Vans brand ambassador, and to design the Sk8-Hi Reissue exclusively for Opening Ceremony.
Bringing back the '90s skate scene and infusing styles of her own, Natalie Westling's take on the Sk8-Hi Reissue features tan nubuck uppers and a blue leather sidestripe and hang flag. The iconic '90s micro-mesh mini checkerboard design was also present at the lining with a blue footbed, and the design was completed with a "Natalie Skate" emblem that was inspired by her own tattoos.
Check out the inspiring video brings the positive message to embrace the confidence that sports can provide young girls.
