Vans x Supreme – Authentic “Checkers & Corduroy (unofficial)” (Samples)

All of this Supreme news is too much to handle!  Following the Chukka Boot and Old Skool Metallic Pack, we now have info on a 3rd (hopefully) upcoming release from Vans and Supreme.  An Authentic, constructed primarily in checkered print canvas, with corduroy on the toe panel.  Available in at least 3 colorways: Yellow, Red, and Green, in some subtle, pastel tones, which contrast nicely with the black and white checkers that Vans is known for.  Each pair sits on top of a standard white sole, with black foxing stripe, and features silver metal lace eyelets for that finishing touch.  What are your thoughts on these?

Vans x Supreme – Old Skool “Metallic Pack (unofficial)” (Samples)

Releasing alongside the Chukka, looks to be these Old Skools.  Designed in the same color combos as the Chukka Boot, but we also see the addition of a Green/Gold colorway, and perhaps the minus of a few colorways, leaving some exclusivity between the two models.  No definite info on these either, but stay tuned to our forums, and possibly here on OFFTHEWALLSITE for any new info as it becomes available.  Now go out there, and get them Campbell’s Soupremes!

Vans x Supreme – Chukka “Metallic Pack (unofficial)” (Samples)

So did everyone see the news about the latest Supreme release dropping this upcoming Thursday?  Yeah, sometimes that’s already old news with the internet these days, case in point, we’ve already stumbled upon some pics of another up and coming release from Supreme.  Now, all the info is unofficial, but as with most Supreme leaks, they usually end up releasing some time in the future.  I’ve dubbed these the “metallic pack”, due to the small accents of metallic color on each shoe.  The Chukka seen here, will be available in a few colorways: Purple/Gold Metallic, Navy/Teal Metallic, Black/Silver Metallic, Maroon/Silver Metallic, and Beige/Red Metallic.  The sockliner has a houndstooth pattern, and the sole is all white, for that clean and simple Spring/Summer look.  Stay up to date on our forums, for any new info!

Vans x Supreme – Campbell’s Soup Authentic, Half Cab, & Sk8-Hi (S/S 2012)

info via Supreme:

“The Campbell’s soup can label is one of the most recognizable product labels in the world and has been a part of the American landscape for over 100 years. It was propelled further into the national psyche with Andy Warhol’s various renditions of the labels throughout the 1960’s and 70’s.

Supreme has teamed up with Campbell’s to create a small group of products highlighting this iconic label. The group will include three classic Vans styles – the Sk8-Hi, the Half Cab, and the Authentic, as well as a 5-Panel cap and a T-Shirt.

Available in-store in NY, LA, London and online on May 10th. Available now in Japan.”

STOLEN!!! Vans x Nibwaakaawin x Pendleton for All Nations Skate Jam (Surplus Stock Stolen)

info from Chris at OTW:

As you know, last week we previewed and promoted the special Vans Classics shoes Steve Van Doren created for the Native nonprofit’s Gathering of Nations/All Nations Skate Jam weekend. The event was a success and the Nibwaakaawin sold most of their stock but the surplus was stolen Sunday night.  The trailer containing $10,000 dollars worth of shoes was swiped from the Albuquerque hotel they were staying at.

Please refer to the local media coverage below for more information. If you see any of these custom Vans on the marketplace please contact authorities and the Nibwaakaawin (todd@allnationsskatejam.com). If you can share this information amongst your networks, it would be greatly appreciated! Thanks for all of your help.

Check out the local ABC7 News story here.

 

(Personal note to the thieves:  You’re better off just returning, or abandoning the trailer, and the goods somewhere, because you won’t be able to make a dime off of these.  They’re highly recognizable, especially in the local area.  I’m sure you didn’t know what you were stealing, but this time karma caught up with you.  Good luck dumb asses!)

Vans x Silas x Slam City Skates – Era (Spring 2012)

It’s been a minute since Silas has teamed up with Vans on a release.  This time, they’ve teamed up with Slam City Skates in London on this sick looking camo Era.  Constructed primarily of black suede, but with camo print canvas side panels.  A few hits of red can be seen on the lace eyelets, and the heel tab, and Silas branding can be found on the side of the heel, and in the camo print.  Word is, these are due out this week.  We’ll see!  Stay tuned.

Vans OTW x Primitive – Bedford (another sneakpeak pic with @ChristineMendoza)

You gotta love the way that Primitive markets their product.  I mean, take bad chicks, and take them out of their clothes, and get them to pose with your product.  Simple, effective, and I love it.  Don’t judge me!  I think this was just a reminder that their Vans collaborations aren’t over yet, and that the OTW Bedford is due out soon, following up to their fantastic cable knit Half Cab.  Stay tuned!

Vans Syndicate x Tony Alva – Mid Skool “S” (First pics! Samples?)

Here’s a first look at what seems to be the next release from Vans Syndicate.  Apparently, they’ve teamed up with the legendary Tony Alva, on this interesting Mid Skool 77.  This is more or less his go-to shoe, evident in almost all of his past Pro model collaborations with Vans, and why mess with success, right?  Sticking to that late 70s theme, the colors chosen are a mixture of navy blue and mustard yellow, with white contrast stitching.  The material of the shoe is all suede, with custom Alva embroidery at the heel, like on all of his other Mid Skools.  This particular pair is obviously a sample, due to being a sz9, and being up on eBay before any other info has been officially released.  With that being said, we have no release date, and we don’t know if this is part of a capsule collection, so just enjoy this for now, and we’ll be sure to keep you posted if anything else comes up.

Purchase this pair here.
