New Vans drops @ St. Alfred

I was checking out the St. Alfred site today, and noticed they had posted up some of their new Vans that came in, and I noticed a nice looking Switchback, in black leather, from the California collection.  Looks like they are part of the black leather pack, that also included the Authentic, and Sk8-Hi, that was shown last week.  I’ve also posted after the jump, the rest of their new stuff, which included the Inca Flower Sk8-Hi, as well as some other stuff that hasn’t been revealed before.

Vans 2010 Fall Collection Sk8-Hi Deconstruct Suede

Some new pics of the Sk8-Hi Deconstruct model for this upcoming Fall have recently appeared.  The Deconstruct Sk8-hi removes padding and reinforcements from the regular Sk8-Hi model, creating a slimmer and cleaner profile.  The model is back in a black, gray, and burgundy colorway, with matching laces and white outsoles to finish.  No update info is available yet, but expect to find these at your local Vans California dealer.

Vans California Slip-On Woven

The California crew over at Vans, have come up with a unique way of applying the infamous checkerboard pattern to one of their new Slip-On models.  They’ve managed to weave leather strips, into a contrasting dark and light pattern, by turning some of the strips upside down, to expose the suede side of the leather.  They are done up in 3 premium leather colorways, blue, brown, and black, along with a white midsole, with color matching foxing stripes.  Look for these at your local Vault/California dealer in the near future.
