“Inspired by the early years of California’s skate and surf scene, Vans Classics presents the next installment of the “Golden Coast” collection featuring the Authentic, Classic Slip-On, Era, Sk8-Hi Reissue and Style 36. The collection reminisces over the time period with a special series of checkerboard and two-toned color-ups in vintage tones. The checkered selection showcases the Authentic and Classic Slip-On in five allover prints. The original form of the Old Skool, the Style 36, is also highlighted with checkerboard paneling and suede overlays. The two-toned offerings, the Era and Sk8-Hi Reissue, conclude the assortment with a throwback color palette of deep water, red, dress blues and spectra yellow. The “Golden Coast” editions of the Authentic and Classic Slip-On are available now at select Vans retailers while the Era, Sk8-Hi Reissue and Style 36 will be available beginning in July.”

“Hemp graces a trio of classic Vans silhouettes this spring as the Sk8-Hi, Era and Madero all come decked out in tonal, double-stitched uppers for the current season. While both the Sk8-Hi and Era see contrasting white rubber foxing (sans foxing stripe), the sleek derby-like Madero sports an entirely monochromatic look to further highlight its eco-friendly upper.”

Vans x The Beatles – Yellow Submarine Collection (March 2013)

Jan 26 14 under Bands, Collaborations, General Release | Comments Off

Being that Rolling Stone officially dropped the info on these a few days back, I guess we can officially share this info with y’all. Vans will be releasing a band tribute series for the iconic band The Beatles, featuring artwork from their album and film, Yellow Submarine. The collection will feature a Sk8-Hi with animated photos of each of the four members, one on each side of the left and right shoe, taken from the film. The Classic Slip-Ons play off the movie’s Sea of Monsters, showing trippy marine life swimming in an ocean of pink. The Eras depict all four band members, some wearing rainbow pants, hanging out in a yellow garden, and the final pair, the Authentic, is adorned with a pattern that reads “Allyouneedislove” running over and over again and into itself in purple, yellow and green. On February 9th, the Beatles will be the subject of a two-hour CBS special that will commemorate their arrival in the United States. Look for the shoes to be available in March!

Vans x Della – Collection (Available Now!) @dellalosangeles

Jan 8 14 under Collaborations, General Release | Comments Off

Vans has teamed up with Los Angeles based Della, a socially responsible fashion company known for their dedication to empowering the women of the Volta region, of West Ghana, West Africa. If the design doesn’t hook you, perhaps the purpose will. There, these women handcraft fabrics through a traditional batik process, which produces a one-of-a-kind print, which makes for some truly custom Vans, with no two pairs having the same exact look. Della went with the classics on this release, choosing a Sk8-Hi Reissue, Era, Authentic, Sk8-Hi Slim, and Slip-On. Colors were inspired by the landscape and culture of the West African region. Accompanying these, are a few hand bags which can all be seen over on the Vans site, and are available for purchase on their webstore right now.
