Vans x Supreme – Half-Cab 20th Anniversary (releasing very soon!)

Dec 28 11 under Collaborations, Heritage, Supreme | Comments Off

There’s only a few weeks left before the highly anticipated 20th Anniversary Half-Cab is set to release. Choosing the original black sude, with grey “croc-skin” material, Steve Caballero took his original Caballero model and cut it down into the Half Cab style, exactly the same way the Half Cab was originally conceived. He even went as far as to put the duct tape around the ankle, just like he did back in the day. In the pics seen here, you can see Steve Caballero “customizing”, hand-signing, and numbering each of the 20 pairs that will be released at Supreme. These pics were taken inside the Los Angeles location, but there’s no info on whether they will be sold exclusively at this location, or if the shoes will be split up among each of their locations world-wide. If so, then don’t expect to get your hands on these babies! They are set to release sometime mid-January.

Words via FreshNGood:

“After releasing the “Art of Lettering” with Mister Cartoon earlier this fall, we teamed up with our Parisian OTW Advocate, Dimitri Coste, for a new book project that captures the photographer and filmmaker’s passion for vintage motorcycle racing. Shot at the magnificent Catalina Grand Prix, the West Coast’s most historical motorcycle race, the lookbook photos follow Dimitri around the island as he competes in his first international race. Our film crew was on hand for the event as well, documenting Coste’s race preparation and domination.”

Vans x Iggy Pop – 106 Vulcanized Tribute

Dec 19 11 under Collaborations, General Release | Comments Off

To celebrate it’s 45 years, Vans is offering a premium version of their 106 Vulcanized model in a special collaboration project with rock artist Iggy Pop. An all black colorway was chosen, in premium leather, with the rarely used LVEVL or “Dr. Marten” sole, and an embossed tongue, with Iggy Pop’s logo. For the inner lining, he chose a black denim material, and finished the shoes off with some classy waxed round laces. Who says all black everything has to be boring? If the collaborative parties don’t get you to buy these, then maybe the materials and attention to details will. Available in January at your local Vans dealer.

Vans Vault x Levi Maestro – Old Skool Decon (Official pics!)

Dec 15 11 under Collaborations, Vault | Comments Off

Thanks to Sneaker Freaker, we can now see exactly what Levi Maestro’s been cooking up with Vans Vault. Our predictions were sort of off however, as the shoe is gray, not navy, like the initial poor video quality protrayed! SF also got the inside scoop on this release, with an exclusive interview with Levi, himself. Head on over to Sneaker Freaker, for the interview, video, and I’ve gone through the trouble of posting the pics for you all right here. That’s right, you’re welcome! Just messin’.

Vans OTW Presents: Time & Space – Morning Breath Pt.1 (video)

Dec 14 11 under Collaborations, Events, OTW, Videos | Comments Off

Words via Hypebeast:

“As Brooklyn-based art studio Morning Breath prepared for its recent art show “Manos Extranos” (strange hands), Vans OTW was on hand to capture the excitement and mounting pressure. The show took place at the White Walls gallery in San Francisco, California, and was an exhibition of paintings comprised of silk screens and freehand work, the results of which are visually stunning. Luckily as viewers, this video allows us to see a lot of the processes and hard work that went into each piece, even if it means that artist Doug “retires” halfway through every show. Based on these paintings, we hope his threats continue to be nothing more than bluffs.”
