Vans take their Sk8-Hi Zip, last seen getting the “varsity colorway” treatment back in June, and dress it up in a duo of tonal shades for a slightly smarter look. In both “Agate Grey” and “Dress Blues” versions, Vans have maintained the monochrome effect by using soft topgrain boot leather for all panels and detailing, accentuated by a brass YKK zip at the achilles.

Vans Golden Coast Collection

Posted on June 4, 2014 | Leave a comment

Vans-Classics-Golden-Coast-Collection-for-Fall-2014-570x380Revisiting the early days of VANS, the Golden Coast Collection pays homage to South California’s budding skate and surf scene at the time. Featuring an abundance of VANS’ signature checkerboard design on the Authentic, Classic Slip-On, Style 36 and Old Skool in the original form, the retro-themed designs also include the Era and Sk8-Hi Reissue in throwback colourways of deep water, red, dress blues, and spectra yellow. Celebrating both VANS’ heritage as well its impact on SoCal culture then and now. I’m not sure if these are getting a UK release as yet.

Comme des Garçons SHIRT x Supreme x Vans 2014 Spring/Summer Collection

Posted on March 10, 2014 | Leave a comment

20140310-120821.jpg

Comme des Garçons SHIRT and Supreme recently teamed to produce a special 2014 Spring/Summer Collection with Vans chiming in with a set of footwear offerings as well.

Using the same fabric Comme des Garçons used for the apparel items, Vans re-interpreted both the Sk8-Hi and the Era, incorporating the signature visual themes of the collection. The Era, appearing in both black and red, combines both white polka dot and stripes for the upper and features the Supreme tag stamped on the heel and Comme des Garçons SHIRT printed on the white rubber outsole. The Sk8-Hi features a similar upper while also paying a graphical tribute to late NYC skate legend Harold Hunter.
