Vans x Baron Von Fancy – Collection (January 2016)

Slip-On 3

Vans NYC multi-media artist Baron Von Fancy is known for diverse artistic work that extends from large comic strip-genre paintings to playful and poetic simple statements. Bringing to mind the nostalgia of mid-century ad signage, the Baron Von Fancy collection features bold, hand-lettered phrases in a black and white capsule collection. The offering includes 3 classics, a Sk8-Hi Slim Zip, Authentic, and a Slip-On, each available in unisex sizing (up to a Men’s 10). Look for them at your local Vans store.

“It might be winter, but it’s 90º somewhere, and Vans is gearing up for warmer weather. They have release a new Late Night Pack with a very spring feel. The pack consists of various Authentics and Slip Ons with printed photos of desserts and food. Vans has the whole food pyramid covered with macaroons, pizza, french fries, and donuts. A couple standouts from this pack are the Sk8 Hi and Slip On with stylized cheeseburger graphics and classic checkerboard pattern. The graphics remind us of the ultra limited Cobra Snake x Colette Era from a few years back.”

Words via Vans:

“Vans closes out the winter with an extensive collection with Pendleton Woolen Fabrics. Renowned for their authenticity and commitment to quality, Vans and Pendleton come together to create a distinctive line-up of product that embodies the unique design heritage of both iconic entities.  In years past, Vans and Pendleton have teamed up for limited edition executions under the Vault by Vans imprint. The Vans x Pendleton collection for holiday 2015 expands the partnership into a seven-piece range that includes collaborative adult, kid and toddler footwear.  Starting with the adult selection of footwear, Pendleton’s tribal wools are presented on the quarter panels of the Sk8-Hi MTE, across the Classic Slip-On and over the Era lace-up.  The Sk8-Hi MTE offers the added benefits of Vans’ all weather technology that includes Scotchgard®-treated uppers, warm linings and an internal heat retention layer for additional support in cold climates.  Furthermore, the Sk8-Hi MTE features a unique outsole construction that reverses and extends the Vans waffle pattern into a lug sole platform for maximum grip on wet surfaces.  For tiny tykes, the Era is taken down into kid’s sizing while the Sk8-Hi Zip is made exclusively for smaller feet. Modified with a heel zipper and traditional rubber tread sole, the Sk8-Hi Zip is only available in kid and toddler size runs.  There are also a few LXVI, Surf, and Apparel pieces available exclusively online.
