Vans is partnering once again with Realtree on a holiday collection emblazoned with the iconic woodland pattern that’s become synonymous with camouflage worldwide.

Much like Vans, Realtree’s origins can be traced back to a single, innovative idea. In 1986, Bill Jordan introduced the company’s first camouflage pattern under the Realtree name. Fast forward to current day, and what was once a fledgling idea is now recognized as a global leader in camo pattern innovation, with widespread use not only in the outdoor space, but across countless other industries, including streetwear and fashion houses for their seasonal lines.

The Realtree collection is rooted across several of Vans’ classic styles, including the Sk8-Hi in the Realtree Xtra meteorite and snow camo, the Classic Slip-On in Realtree AP blaze camo, the Era in Realtree Xtra meteorite, and the Old Skool in Realtree AP blaze camp and Realtree Xtra wild orchid.

Leading the way in apparel are the men’s Oakmont MTE fishtail anorak in Realtree Xtra and made of rugged, 100% polyester ripstop with DWR coating and 6 oz fill; and the women’s Realtree Foundry Jacket, an allover-print puffer with a high neck, circle zipper pull, DuPont insulation and 100% polyester fabric outer. Also offered is the Realtree Fano Anorak for women and the water-resistant Garnett windbreaker jacket for men.

Women’s accessories include a Realtree Camper hat in 5-panel poly fabric construction with buckle adjuster and leather patch, and the Realtree Backpack, constructed with 100% poly outer 22L capacity, exterior pockets and one main compartment with laptop sleeve.

On the men’s side, look for an Allover IT Snapback, Obstacle Skatepack backpack, Skate Duffel and Ward Sling Bag, all in Realtree Xtra.

The Vans x Realtree collection is now available online and at authorized Vans retailers.  Click on the pic above to shop the collection!

Words via Vans:

Vans invites all ghouls, ghosts and goblins to celebrate the holidays with Halloween Town’s most beloved characters, announcing the release of a special collection inspired by Disney Tim Burton’s “The Nightmare Before Christmas”. With a 10-piece footwear offering complimented by a range of apparel and accessories, Vans designers highlight a variety of film moments and character bounding interpretations that honors Vans and Disney’s long collaboration. The Vans and Disney Tim Burton’s “A Nightmare Before Christmas” collection goes on-sale October 4 and invites fans to step into the imagination and artistry of the cult-classic film.

Arguably the most iconic scene, Jack’s Lament is featured on the Sk8-Hi with each of the four panels showcasing a frame from Jack’s walk through the Halloween Town cemetery. A special message that reads “Nice Work, Bone Daddy” on the inside collar completes the design. Additionally, the Jack Pull Over Hoodie features a special rendition of Jack’s Lament with a Checkerboard spiral hill.

Disney bounding fans can channel the film’s beloved couple, Jack Skellington and Sally. The Pumpkin King’s ghostly suit including cat and bat wing applique is mimicked on the Classic Slip-On, while Dr. Finkelstein’s master humanoid creation, Sally, receives her very own Era Stacked silhouette and Sally Patchwork Crew. Inspired by her very creation, each style is collaged with various prints from her dress while the Era Stacked features hand-stitched detailed as a nod to Sally’s unique beauty.

The Classic Slip-On and long sleeve tee will showcase emblematic elements from Oogie Boogie’s underground lair, including dice and skull graphics on the sidewall and sleeves of each silhouette. Honoring his place in the moonlit night, fans will find Oogie Boogie’s shadow peeking from the sidewall of the Classic Slip-On. Not to be forgotten, Oogie Boogie’s trio of henchmen – Lock, Shock and Barrel can be found on the Old Skool and panels of an Era.

Vans will combine all-day comfort and classic style with the ComfyCush Authentic which will feature all of the characters from the film layered on a Checkerboard backdrop. Halloween Town favorites can be found through a variety of different designs and product offerings available for fans of all ages with friendly features including elastic laces, zip closure and glow-in-the-dark elements made for the youngest ghouls of Halloween Town.

The Vans and Disney Tim Burton’s “The Nightmare Before Christmas” collection will be available to shop in Vans dealers, Vans stores and Vans.com/nightmare beginning October 4.

Vans became the original action sports brand in 1976 when the Van Doren family released the first skate shoe, style #95. The sturdy construction, material upgrades and padded collar withstood the demands of skaters carving the concrete and became the foundation of not only skate performance footwear but design expression with its multi-panel construction.

Today, style #95 is known as the Era and continues to live on through varying style executions, colorways and forms. With a long-standing history that is rooted in D.I.Y culture, the Era aspires to be outside the confinements of traditional footwear executions with the introduction of the Era 3RA Vision Voyage pack.

The design process begins with Vans original construction of the navy Era which are marked by stitching at each intersecting panel. Every original stitching placement extends and transforms the canvas of the Era with multiplied deco stitching. The tongue is layered with three executions – one atop another. The Era 3RA continues with three layered foxing stipes, toe bumpers and three heel scabs. The Era 3RA will be available in three colorways including navy, black and true white.

Shop the new Era 3RA assortment in Vans retail stores and online at Vans.com now by clicking on the pic above!

Vans x Harry Potter – A First Look (6.7.19)

pic and words via Hypebeast:

“First teased last month, official imagery of Vans and Harry Potter‘s collaborative sneaker line-up has finally surfaced. Though the apparel and accessories remain under wraps, this first look at the shoes reveals a quartet silhouettes exclusive to each of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry’s houses.

Colors and details from all four houses — Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff and Slytherin — are realized across different Vans silhouettes, reflecting the distinctive nature of each house. Gryffindor’s Sk8-Hi sports red and gold-hued stripes against a black suede upper, with a matching Jazz Stripe and muted white midsole emphasizing the house’s lion-emblazoned crest, which is patched onto the medial side of each sneaker. Elsewhere, Ravenclaw’s signature blue informs a remixed Checkerboard Authentic, complete with matching laces, crest-branded tongue tag and touches of bronze on the alternating squares.

 

The Hufflepuff Slip-On is one of the more understated options; an all-black upper is subverted by subtle yellow stripes at the elastic gusset, with “HUFFLEPUFF” verbiage and crest stitched across the forefoot. Finally, Slytherin’s Era receives an appropriately scaley makeover, with faux snakeskin patterns playing across a silver and dark green leather upper, even reworking the shoe’s tongue tag to showcase the house’s snake motif.”

Head to Vans’ dedicated Harry Potter page to sign up for updates regarding the highly-covetable kicks, including clicking the pic above to be taken to the official release on June 7th.
