“Claudia Gold, A.K.A “Claw Money”, is one of the most successful women when it comes to fashion, art, and sneakers. As an upstart graffiti artist, Claudia has recently taken Vans and her name to another level with the inception of her very own capsule collection. RVLD recently caught up to this young mogul in Long Beach to spend the day with her. Enjoy the video.”

“California footwear label Vans announces a forthcoming collaborative project with children’s television show Yo Gabba Gabba! “Available at better shoe stores worldwide and in the U.S. on shop.vans.com, the Classic Slip-On and Sk8-Hi Deconstruct shoes include eight different versions, with each character represented on their own shoe as well as two versions of a Yo Gabba Gabba! group shoe.” Look for these in November.”
SOPHNET. and Vans have teamed up to release this unique collaboration. At first appearance, you might think that this is just your standard issue black Sk8-Hi, with white contrast stitching, but take a second look, and notice the inner zipper that has been added. It’s all about the little details these days. These should be available during the Fall/Winter season, but most likely just in Japan.

Consignment shop CollectiveLTD just posted up these samples of a Proper x Authentic LX one-piece. Very similar to the pair that released over a year ago, but done with a premium leather upper, with light blue foxing stripe. Speculators think that these are an upcoming release, but would Proper want to do a release that was the same as their last? Most brand collaborations tend to choose a different model than a prior one, but you never know. What do you think? They’re available for purchase via eBay here.

words from FreshnGood:
“Vans Girls and Stussy recently came together to remix the idea of “femme” and celebrate West Coast style; laid back, casual and simplified are some of the things both brands love. The Stussy and Vans Girls partnership has produced what is sure to become an iconic menswear inspired shoe, just for the ladies. The Bailie has the look of a classic men’s shoe with all the comfort and ease both brands represent, including special feminine details in two colorways. Be on the lookout for the Bailie dropping next month.”
