Words via Vans:

“The Carrilo CA is a brand new style that builds on inspirations drawn from the 106. Reminiscent of traditional center seam styling, uppers made from hairy suede offer shading and color variations for a truly unique, broken-in vibe. A textured crepe sidewall, a reverse waffle tread, and a veggie tanned leather heel with boot gauge stitching detail connect this shoe to the soil it is walking on, while staying true to the sturdy aesthetic of a desert boot and casual work shoe.”

This new model from the California collection looks reminiscent to something that Taka Hayashi would’ve designed, and has just enough classic Vans signature features that it may spark the interest and pockets of Vans enthusiasts!  Available in Gray, Tan, and Black colorways.

Did I forget to post these up?  Man, I swear I’m slipping !  How could I have not posted up one of the dopest Vans California releases ever!  We’ve seen the duck boot done up in a million variations, but for some reason this Vans version of the classic, just seems to come together nicely.  Available in 3 colorways:  Olive Green/Navy, Burgundy/Black, and Tan/Brown.

Here’s what Vans has to say about them:

“This new hybrid style from the most innovative corners of the Vans lab combines the silhouette of our Chukka del Barco with a traditional duck boot. Rubber coated suede and a canvas textures conspire with oiled and waxed veggie tan leather to create a style-conscious and water resistant outer shell. The gusseted tongue will keep your feet dry and a visa terry lining beds them in comfort. A crepe sidewall, reversed waffle tread and waxed round laces complete a silhouette that is equally at home in the great outdoors and downtown.”

The 106 Vulcanized CA is looking awesome for the Fall 2012 season.  An upper made from premium suede is complemented by a split oiled leather tongue, that allows for a sleek color and material combination.  Reduced padding and raw edges on the upper create the distinctive decon look, while a new smooth sidewall design pays homage to earlier Vans silhouettes that did without the knurled toe bumper seen on almost all Vans shoes.  A tweed lining adds the right amount of subtle sophistication to a rather casual shoe.  Available for purchase after the jump, by clicking on the pics.

Words via FreshNGood:

“The Era CA is fully committed to the concept of design deconstruction. With a focus on premium materializations, full grain nubuck and leather elements comprise a silhouette created with men’s dress shoes in mind. The collar lining does without padding to stay consistent with this most high-end and most stripped to its essence interpretation of the Era. Waxed round laces, a pigskin Vans hang flag label, and synthetic suede linings complete its sophisticated look.”

Also take notice of the completely smoothed out sidewalls, even on the toe bumper.  This shoe is going to be an instant hit!

Here’s a dope looking Slip-On that’s just released from the Vans California team.  We’ll call it the poor man’s Supremes, because the camo pattern is similar to the Vans 106 Duck Camo kicks that came out a few years ago, except it’s got a grey background.  They also feature an espadrill-style hemp material surrounding the sole for a dope Summer look.  These are set at $60, and are available for purchase after the jump, by clicking on the pic.
