Tyler the Creator is back at it again, for round 2 of his infamous Vans Syndicate Old Skool Pro “S” model. This year’s model is the same shoe as last year, except with some wild new color combinations. While the last pair’s unifying look was the gum soles, this year it’s about these hot pink vulcanized soles, which are ridiculously dope. Say what you will about the “Creator”, but his style is unique, and his followers are the most dedicated kids around, and these will be gone before you can even voice your negative opinions about them! I want all of them! I will get all of them! Will you?!
Here’s some words from Vans Syndicate:
“This fall, Vans Syndicate joins forces with Odd Future’s Tyler the Creator to give the classic Old Skool silhouette a Pro “S” treatment with Ultracush impact sockliners and Duracap reinforced uppers in three bold suede and vivid pink colorways. The Vans Syndicate x Tyler The Creator Pack features the Old Skool Pro “S” in three color schemes including Blue/Pink, Wheat/Pink and Green/Pink.
This project marks the second Odd Future collaboration in the Syndicate line and will be available exclusively from authorized Syndicate dealers beginning July 19th.”

I know, I know, we’re a little late to the party with the info on the Star Wars x Vans collection.

This is the first collection to drop, featuring some fashion forward designs, mostly comprised of patterns, such as a floral Yoda print, a Boba Fett Camo one, as well as a Storm Trooper paisley bandana print. Designed to wear with anything, and not just be a collector piece, which is a smart move.

Head to your nearest Vans retailer, as they should all have them in stock. Oh, and next season, look for a more “darker side” of the Star Wars campaign to emerge.

“Stussy and Vans bring together their most favored motifs for a new collection this season. Taking to the classic throwback silhouettes of Vans’ Vault collection, Stussy has outfitted the OG Era LX, OG Style 36 LX and OG Sk8-Hi LX with three distinct patterns from their prolific canon. Shawn Stussy’s original “Tom Tom” pattern from the 1980s is executed on the Style 36 shoe, complimented with neon green striping and beige suede at the tongue and toecap. The Era LX gets treated with Stussy’s punk “Bones” pattern across the entire upper, contrasted by vibrant sky blue at the interior and leather heel panel. Finally, the OG Sk8-Hi LX sees its own hallmark checkering mixed with Stussy’s infamous 8 Ball print, interrupted by a bold red sidestripe. All three pieces will release in June at worldwide Stussy chapters, as well as select Vans Vault retailers, priced reasonably between $65 and $80 USD.”
