Info via Hypebeast:

“Vans has just unveiled a new collaboration with the Japanese streetwear label NEIGHBORHOOD. While this is not the first collab between the two names, this release is one of the more understated releases from the label.

Fans who appreciate dark and minimal Vans will love this colorway of Forest Green and black as it features colorblocked panels of suede and canvas, side “THE FILTH AND THE FURY” outsole text, and NEIGHBORHOOD branding on the heel. Arriving in both the Comfycush versions of the Sk8-Hi and Era, this updated form of the classic footwear models sees a new softer and cushiony outsole along with added arch support.”

There’s no word on pricing but NEIGHBORHOOD has the release date slated for July 10 at select retail stores.

Vans, the original action sports footwear and apparel brand, is proud to present the latest addition to our ComyCush and Super ComfyCush family: The Classic Era.

The ComfyCush Era has been reinvigorated with a softer, cushiony outsole offering a first-class fit that feels like walking on clouds. A co-molded construction of foam and rubber create the perfect combination of comfort and grip. Newly revamped canvas uppers house a simplified, one-piece interior with added arch support and tongue stabilization, along with new moisture-wicking lining throughout. The result is a lightweight experience that promises to “Keep It Comfy” at all times.

The updated Era comes to life as part of the Mixed Media pack, a retro nod to Vans’ styles of the early ‘90s featuring several fun patterns, including Vans Checkerboard print and zebra print in antique white/black and antique white/multi colorways.

With a double outsole, the new Super ComfyCush Era provides an even comfier experience, delivered in style with a platform sole. The shoe is finished with suede in a purple velvet/classic white colorway, featuring a big checker pattern on the outside quarter panels.

https-_hypebeast.com_image_2019_08_vans-oth-chez-nous-collaboration-1

Words via Hypebeast:

“Canadian boutique Off the Hook has tapped Vans for a new collaboration to celebrate its hometown of Montreal. The new collection, titled “Chez Nous,” features three new colorways of the ComfyCush Era LX silhouette with luxe leather and suede detailings.

The styles in the Chez Nous collection pay homage to OTH‘s three Montreal shops. Vieux-Montréal is inspired by Montreal’s historic Old Port, with a dark blue exterior to call to mind the Saint Lawrence River that borders the city. The rusty brown Centre-Ville style is named for Montreal’s downtown and evokes the city’s architecture. The Plateau colorway is a thyme green to evoke the leafy green streets of the neighborhood and the famous Mount Royal, for which the city is named.  Like many of OTH’s previous collaborations, the Vans collection hopes to create an authentic celebration of Montreal’s history.”

The Dark Blue and Thyme Green pairs are still available for purchase online.

Vans kicks off the season with new offerings from the ComfyCush collection, the brand’s latest product innovation that transforms one of Vans’ most iconic and classic silhouettes, the Era, with Vans’ latest consumer-driven comfort technology.

The ComfyCush Era showcases Vans’ intention to adapt to the evolving needs of consumers all while keeping comfort as the goal.  The ComfyCush Era applies a one-piece constructed interior including tongue tie-downs for improved fit and feel, added arch support and a co-molded construction of foam and rubber to create the perfect combination of cushion and grip for lasting comfort. This season, Vans introduces new colorways and prints in the style, focusing on bright, classic takes on the silhouette.

“We are constantly playing with new ways to incorporate the iconic checkerboard into style evolutions and this primary pallet felt like a subtle ode to the heritage of the Era,” shares Matthew Pino, Global Product Merchandising Manager. “The best thing about the ComfyCush Era is that it is truly a classic and there is no sacrifice of iconic style for added comfort.”

The very first iteration of the Era silhouette launched in 1976 following skate legends Tony Alva and Stacy Peralta asking Vans for more function in their shoes for skateboarding. Decades later, Vans has continued to listen to creative communities to launch the ComfyCush Era as consumers began asking for more comfort, all while keeping the shoe’s iconic style.

Each pair is available now on the Vans site by clicking the pic above!

Vault By Vans x DEFCON x LBT INC – ComfyCush Sk8-Hi LX & ComfyCush Old Skool LX (Long gone!) #DEFCON

May 1 19 under Collaborations, ComfyCush, Vault | Comments Off on Vault By Vans x DEFCON x LBT INC – ComfyCush Sk8-Hi LX & ComfyCush Old Skool LX (Long gone!) #DEFCON

Defcon-Vans-4_2000x2000

Sorry for the late blog post about these, but DEFCON really does a great job of keeping things classified until go time, and they understand that they’re in high demand, so they try to cater to their loyalists first.  I wasn’t able to get any official pics until the website went live today, and I was able to get some official press release info from a classified source.  I’ll take what I can get.  This pack was supposed to release alongside the rest of the ComfyCush shoes a few months back, which something else you may not know, the entire ComfyCush campaign was supposed to launch at ComplexCon, but thankfully that didn’t happen.  I still have trouble prying the ComplexCon exclusive Steve Van Doren Funko Pop! out of resellers hands on eBay, and they have no real connection to SVD or Vans!  Sorry, I’m sounding like everyone else when I talk like that.  Anyways, this is the first time, and possibly the last? time we see a DEFCON Vault release!  Pretty cool, and I’m glad to see the Old Skool make it’s way back.  Oh, and what about the apparel that released alongside the shoes?  Finally we get some hoodies!  All of it’s Made In The USA too, so pay up suckers!  It’s worth it.

Official words from DEFCON:

“In the spring of 2019, Vans VAULT introduced a new construction regarded as ComfyCush that utilizes a co-molded cupsole of proprietary foam and rubber for increased comfort and support. Defcon was given the opportunityto expand upon this build and we are proud to present the following collection.The Defcon ComfyCush SK8-HI™ Reissue LX and ComfyCush OLD SKOOL™ LX were built in coordination with London Bridge Trading Company and highlights their Nylon MAS GREY (Maritime Assault Grey) fabric. Built to support VBSS (Visit, Board, Search, and Seizure) / GOPLAT (Gas and Oil Platform) Maritime Exercises, the footwear features weather and stain resistant Warrior Suede®, mesh linings, perforated waffle sole for quicker draining response, a gusseted tongue, and one-piece constructed interior for a better fit.The footwear is complemented by Made-in-the-USA custom garment dyed apparel in white, black and MAS GREY.”
