Vans x 74 “V8 Motor” Slip-On

words from Hypebeast:

“Vans collaborate with 74 on this all white slip-on. Simple in design, the white canvas upper is paired with a matching white outsole. The shoe is complete with an illustrated V8 motor graphics on its forefront. The Vans x 74 V8 Motor Slip-On is available now from Deluxe .”

SOPHNET. x Vans SK8-HI

SOPHNET. and Vans have teamed up to release this unique collaboration.  At first appearance, you might think that this is just your standard issue black Sk8-Hi, with white contrast stitching, but take a second look, and notice the inner zipper that has been added.  It’s all about the little details these days.  These should be available during the Fall/Winter season, but most likely just in Japan.

Vans Sk8-Hi “Stripe” Pack Fall 2010

For the Fall 2010 season, Vans has released these sk8-hi’s in 3 colorways, with color-matched stripes on the side panels.  Available in Red, Green, and Blue colorways, with the old-school “Vans Off The Wall” tongue tag.  These are currently available at ABC-Mart, which leads me to believe that these may end up being only available in Japan.

Vans Leather Wingtip Pack Fall/Winter 2010

With all of the recent wingtip releases coming out from Vans, it’s hard to pick a favorite, or a color that doesn’t draw too much attention.  With these all black Sk8-Hi and Era models, the wingtip theme blends very nicely, and might pass as a semi-casual shoe.  Constructed with polished black leather, and sitting on top of an all black sole, these go hard with almost anything!  These are now available from Commune in Japan.

Vans Syndicate Bash Vulc “Hosoi”

words by NiceKicks,

“This new Vans Syndicate sneaker pays tribute to Christian Hosoi, the legendary skater with a checkered past. A vulcanized version of the Bash, which WTAPS created in 2008, this shoe is now available to Japanese consumers in two colorways.

Premium suede and nubuck work along the mudguard of both pairs. Meanwhile, the leather is perforated on the foremost panel and heel and is quilted elsewhere. The first pair is black and uses red accents, while the second uses the same colors, but relies on a red majority.”
