Vans – Half Cab “20th Anniversary” Pro models (another look!)

We’re now half way through the year, and subsequently half way through the Half Cab’s 20th Anniversary, and since pretty much all of the original colorways have been released, we can now expect the more creative, and artistic models to come next.  These will all be made as Half Cab Pro models, unlike the previous releases which were all Classics, so we can expect all of the bells and whistles that all Pro models feature.  As we patiently wait for official press pics, we can at least get a closer look at a few of the artist collaborations coming out soon.  Seen here, are creations created by MoFo, Dirty Donny, and Steve Caballero himself.  Each one totally different from the rest!  Sorry we don’t have any more info at this time, but enjoy a few pics after the jump!

Vans – Van Doren Series “Limited Edition” (Fall 2012)

We’ve been teased by this release for awhile now, and we can finally show you some official pictures from the Van Doren Series, that will be out this Fall. This special, limited edition release, takes cues from the early years with Vans, back then known as the Van Doren Rubber company. By utilizing a stonewashed canvas, they have achieved a vintage look, using some of their classic prints, that we’ve previously seen in the Pro and Vault series, such as the Aloha Flowers, and Aloha Parrot prints. They chose to utilize the classics here: The Sk8-Hi, Era, and Slip-On, each sitting on top of the classic all white sole, and featuring the classic “Van Doren” heel tab. These should be hitting select Vans dealers now.

Vans x Skateboarder Magazine – Capsule Collection (Preview!)

Translated via FreshNGood:

“Here’s a first look at one of the most consistent, and therefore more interesting, Vans collaborations seen so far:  the one with the first skate magazine in history, Skateboarder Magazine.

Introduced in 1964 as a spin-off of surf magazines of the period, Skateboarder Magazine had many ups and downs over the past 48 years but remains historically the first medium that contributed to the visibility and culture of skateboarding, especially since the mid-70s with the the first real generation of skateboarders, aka the Zephyr Team of Dogtown (who were famously sponsored by Vans).

Sharing the same era of the ’60s and Orange County, California, and many glorious memories, the team of Skateboarder Magazine and Vans have finally worked this year to build a mini-collection consisting of shoes and clothing. The shoes are three models related to the Heritage brand – the Era, the ’77 Mid Skool, and the Old Skool – replicated according to their original designs and colors, and the clothing consists of shirts, sweatshirts and accessories with the same colors as the shoes and the two logos together.

All this is part of the upcoming Fall 2012 collection from Vans, due out in late Summer and we’ll show you in detail shortly. stay tuned.”

Vans iPhone 4 Case has been RESTOCKED!!!

 

As far as I know, nobody else has spread the word about this yet, so who better to keep you in the know, than OTWS.  Yes, that picture above is mine.  The same one everyone used on eBay and on their blogs.  We do know a little bit about Vans over here :).  But seriously, if you’re still in need of an iPhone4 case, then you’re in luck.  Vans has just restocked their webstore.  Not sure how limited these are gonna be this time around.  I assume they made enough for everybody.  We’ll see!  You can thank me later.  Don’t say I didn’t give you a chance.  Our site visits went from an average of 800 unique visitors a day, to 4000 the last time the iPhone4 case released.  Now we get a steady 1500 unique visitors every day since then.  Spread the word, help us grow, and tell ’em to check us out!

Vans – Half Cab “20th Annviersary” Forest Green (April 2012)

The 20th Anniversary of the Half Cab is now in full stride.  Each month, releasing a new colorway, in a limited amount, at select Vans stores and partner accounts.  For April, the colorway chosen is Forest Green, which is a nice follow up to the white pair that came out in March.  A classic color for sure, and definitely giving off that 90’s vibe, with natural colors, and simplistic blocking.  Are these a must have?  Due out some time this week at your local Vans spot.

Vans Core – Grosso Pro Classics Pack (Spring 2012)

We’re no stranger to the collabs that Vans and Jeff Grosso put out each year, but the general public may not know the gems that they truly are.  Grosso’s roots are in pool and vert ramp skating, so his line always features a Sk8-Mid Vert Pro, but there’s always a few more added to the lineup as well, because we all need a little bit of variety in our lives!  This time, he chose to put the Old Skool 92 into the mix, and the color theme he went with for both models was straight up a nod to the classics.  Standard black, with white contrast stitching, while sitting on top of a white midsole with black foxing stripes.  Can’t forget to mention, the OG white jazz or “wave” stripe!  All of the Pro technology is there as well, like the removable PU footbed, and the Duracap toe bumpers.  The Old Skool gets done up in nubuck and leather, while the Sk8-Mid Vert Pro gets a premium full-grain leather, and pig suede mock up.  The Sk8-Mid has already been seen at a few Vans stores, but the Old Skool 92 should be following it up real soon.  Are these a must have to your collection?

Vans – Half Cab “20th Anniversary” White (March 2012)

The Half Cab is 20 years old this year, and each month Vans is celebrating the history, by releasing all of the original colorways, as well as a few artist created versions later on in the year.  The 3rd model, following up the Butterscotch colorway for February, is the White model for March.  It’s more of a beige, or off-white colorway, but that’s how they rolled in the 90s!  This pair sits on top of the same all white vulcanized sole as the OG’s did, but they feature the commemorative “20 Years” tag on the side of the shoe.  Also like the original, these will feature a black lining and tongue as well.  These will be due out soon, at your local Vans store.
