Rick Griffin x Vans E-Street

Taken from the NiceKicks blog,

“Rick Griffin’s erratic, multicolored schemes undoubtedly smother this E-Street’s base. The psychedelic art elements, seen throughout the upper, use multiple shades of blue and green, while black hints appear in the form of the shoelaces and inner lining. Lastly, a white, vulcanized rubber sole finishes this E-Street off.”

Now available at Extra Butter online.

Vans x Deluxe Chukka Boot

Deluxe has put an interesting twist on this Chukka.  This is the first time that we’ve seen a rubber toecap utilized on a Chukka.  The croc skin style leather places this shoe in the slightly flashy category, but being that it’s black, it won’t draw as much attention.  The round waxed laces add that final touch, along with the appropriate collabo tongue label.  As with most Japanese Vans releases…”what’s sold in Japan…stays in Japan!”  You can try your luck on their webstore.
