“DQM announces the opening of their new cooperative store together with Vans – the Vans DQM General.

“The store is located in the heart of Soho at 93 Grand Street, in a landmark building and a neighborhood full of history. The General will not only carry on the mindset, respect and authenticity of DQM, but teams it up with the knowledge and values of Vans, to cater to the growing skateboarding and lifestyle community in New York City and beyond.

The General will carry a curated selection of Vans footwear and apparel for men, women and kids; DQM apparel; and a small collection of DQM for VANS designed apparel and footwear available only at the New York store.”

The store has a great vintage inspired interior design with many nice details.”

Vans Syndicate x Rodney Smith – Apparel (available @Silostore)

Jul 5 11 under Apparel, Syndicate | Comments Off

Syndicate apparel is rarely dropped, and when it does, it disappears quicker than a jury member on the Casey Anthony trial! (I know, that’s just mean.) But seriously, the last Syndicate Starter snapback is practically non-existent, and when’s the last time you’ve seen a simple, clean Vans Syndicate tee, with a big “VANS” logo on it, with the signature Mr. Cartoon for Syndicate “S”? It took me awhile to put this info up, but it’s been on our forums for a minute. If you didn’t know where to find this at, then now you know. Thanks to Brant at Silo, for giving us the heads up on this, and head on over, or give him a call to get your gear!

Vans Syndicate x Rodney Smith – Starter Snapback

Jun 13 11 under Apparel, Collaborations, Syndicate | Comments Off

The Vans Syndicate website has been updated with new content, and the Rodney Smith pack has been added to the lineup as well. Something we haven’t seen in a few years has also been added, and that’s a new Syndicate snapback from Starter, that’s also part of the mentioned pack. This time, they chose a navy colorway, with a red bill, and the word “NEW YORK” embroidered on the left side, to acknowledge the collaboration. These should be popping up at your local Syndicate dealer soon! Must cop!

Check out this dope New Era that just dropped exclusively at In4mation, that coincides with the In4mation x OTW Bedford that just released. Constructed in black denim, with a brown pleather brim.

OTWS Tee & Hoody (Last day for pre-order!)

Feb 5 11 under Apparel | Comments Off

Offthewallsite is starting to gain a nice little following, and we thought that a dope Vans-inspired tee and hoody would be appropriate for everyone. We’re fortunate to have the infamous CrisOne as one of our contributing OTWS members, and he gets full credit for the Syndicate x W)Taps Sk8-mid inspired logos. At first, we were gonna only do these in Navy, but after such positive feedback on the forums, we collectively decided that black was necessary, as well as zip-up hoodies. Because there’s such variety and more than one color option, it’s necessary for us to pre-order. Visit the OTWS web store if you want to pick these up, and as an added incentive, all orders placed this week will get 10% off of their total purchase by using promo code “OTWS”. All tees will come with some OTWS stickers as well. Support us, so we can make more stickers and tees! Thanks!
