Another solid Era is due out this Spring, from the Vans California team. Seen here in 3 colorways, burgundy, blue, and grey, each constructed with the same premium suede materials, tanned leather ankle tabs, and square leather laces. All sit on top of a standard all-white midsole. Must cop?

Vans California looks to be the front runner this season. Hit after hit keeps coming out, and this “wool pack” is going to fly off the shelves. The color combo chosen for this release fits accordingly with your wardrobe for the colder months, and the wool material is looking very stylish as well. There will be a Chukka Boot 69 offered in brown with a gum sole, and gray with a white sole, and black laces, for a perfect combo. The Era 59 will also be available in both of those colorways, as well as a navy with black sole make-up. The last is an almost identical release from the Vault Chukka Peacoat series a few years back, with the same navy wool, and black sole, and peacoat strap and button on the side. The only thing missing, appears to be the satin lining! These should be available soon at your local CA dealer!

A favorite amongst Vans collectors, the Chukka Boot 69 pays homage to the classic shape of the earlier model Chukka from Vans. For the Holiday season, Vans California is releasing them in a Wool Pack, covered in Wool that is manufactured by a California based company. Right now, there’s only pictures of the the Grey pair, but it’s looking pretty damn clean, with it’s all grey wool, black waxed laces, and dark grey nubuck ankle tab. An all-white vulcanized midsole goes perfectly with these, for that classic sharp look that California Vans are known for. Available soon at your local CA dealer.

The 106 is one of the most comfortable, and stylish looking low-top Vans on the market these days. With clean designs coming out of the California group, it’s not hard deciding if you should add a pair to your collection, either. Seen here for the Holiday season, in 3 colorways: Friar Brown/Whisper White, Blue Nights/Medium Gum, and Black Charcoal. Each pair takes on a monotone upper, mostly of canvas, but with a leather heel, and round leather laces, laced through D-ring eyelets. Looking sharp! These should also be out soon.

Boy, the California Holiday 2011 collection just keeps rolling out with the goods! This time, we get a better look at the Era 59 CA that we shared awhile back, seen here in Black/Canteen, and Dress Blues/Moon Mist, constructed primarily in tumbled premium leather, and suede, but there’s also some hits of tanned natural leather on the ankle tab. The color blocking, and the subtle colored midsoles, make for another solid release for the Winter. Available soon at your local CA dealer.

One of the best looking Vans models has to be the Chukka Del Barco. It takes the quirky Zapato Del Barco and gives it that missing mid-top look that just seems to be right at home on top of it. The Chukka Del Barco is back for the Holiday season, in a “deconstructed” look, in 3 colorways: Navy, Tan, and Black. Each in a mixture of wool on nubuck leather, or vice versa. Definitely on point, and ready to rock with that peacoat! These will be available soon at your local California dealer.

The latest and greatest from the Vans California collection, comes to us in a 106 Moc. A hybrid model, sprouting from the popular 106, as well as the Zapato Del Barco. For the Holiday 2011 season, it will come in two colorways: Earthy Buck Grey, and Burgundy. Both sit on top of off-white vulcanized midsoles, with a gum toe bumper, and each has a tonal double-wide foxing stripe. Available soon at your local CA dealer!

Another great looking shoe to release from the Vans California Holiday line, are these two Old Skool Decon’s. The Black/Black pair is constructed in an all-black tumbled leather, with a tonal suede toe cap, and black vulcanized sole, while the Mink/Carafe utilizes the same tumbled premium leather, but in a light brown colorway with a matching suede toe cap, and this pair utilizes the popular gum colored sole that is a big hit right now. Both pairs feature tonal square leather laces, and there is stitching in place of the separate panels for the lace eyelets, and wave stripe, thus giving these the “deconstructed” look and feel. Available soon at your local CA dealer.

Here’s an interesting take on the Chukka from the Vans California collection. This time, they opted to go with a deconstructed look and feel, by eliminating the padding and support around the shoe, thus giving it that sophisticated look, similar to a desert boot. Constructed of premium full grain leather, and available in 3 colorways: Andorra/Gum, Black/Black, and Brown/White. Expect these to hit your local CA dealer soon.

Words via Hypebeast:
“Another maturing relationship between Vans and British retailer, Offspring sees two fall iterations of the Vans Era California. Perfectly fit for the season, the collection comes to light through a supple navy leather silhouette with brown leather laces and a soft white inner lining. Rounding off the two-pack, a “silver sage” colorway is mocked up in a soft suede upper with hints of rich brown leather throughout. Revisiting similar textile and fabric choices as their past Offspring and Vans collaborations, this season’s collection is likely to be in high demand. A limited run of both colorways is now available in Offspring stores nationwide and in the Offspring online store.”
