The late famous actor Dennis Hopper (May 17, 1936 – May 29, 2010), is being paid a tribute by Vans, with this capsule collection. Included are: a jacket in waxed canvas with photo printing, five t-shirts with photo prints on them, a driver-cap, and two shoes: a stonewashed canvas with leather trim Era, and a waxed canvas Chukka Boot with gumsoles. Look for these soon from Vans.

What?! Is that really Kanye rockin’ the rare Ludwig Van 30’s Nostalgia Era’s?!? This is what all of us Vans collectors have been waiting to see. Finally, some due credit for Mike Dytri’s Deadstock project! With the rarity, and entire concept behind the Vault x Ludwig Van Deadstock project, I hope Kanye knows just how dope these Vans are. Us collectors know, and now, so will the readers of Dresslikekanyewest.com, which is where I received word of this information. They also utilized OTWS to help explain a little bit about the shoe, and to provide our detailed pics. It’s all good, and they even linked back to us, so that should help us get a few more readers! The right information is always better than just some made up stuff. If more celebrities start to learn about Vans Vault, and Syndicate, and every other rare project of Vans, then it will be good for those of you who are sitting on a lot of deadstock, but it will suck for future releases!
Thanks to Kanye’s assistant art director, Virgil Abloh for the pics!
I was watching some of the Yelawolf x SXSW (2011) videos that HighSnobiety had produced, and I noticed that Yelawolf was skating some Vault Taka Hayashi Akats. The vids are in black and white, so I couldn’t tell which colorway they were, but they were the all suede ones from last season. Dope, Yela gets down with Vaults! He most definitely knows what’s up. Check out episode 2, and then peep the rest of the episodes over on Vimeo, to see if you can catch any other glimpses as well.
