Vans OTW: Asia Launch Party (Hypebeast exclusive interview)

Sep 20 10 under Events, OTW | Comments Off

Hypebeast recently had the chance to interview the official “OTW fam”, the advocates chosen by Vans, to spearhead the OTW line. Recently they went to Kin, in Shanghai, to launch the Holiday 2010 line. The Vans OTW Asia party included a select few locals to take in the various visual pieces created by the now-four Advocates. This included newly added advocate for OTW, but not new to Vans (see Syndicate), Mister Cartoon and a live mural session, photography from The Blackouts, a large-scale 21 print sets by Eric Elms, and motorcycle-based photography from Dimitri Coste based on his father’s racing pedigree. Read more on the entire feature here.

In4mation x Vans OTW Bedford

Sep 15 10 under Collaborations, OTW | Comments Off

It’s been a minute since we’ve last seen an In4mationxVans collabo, and like clockwork, this Winter, they are scheduled to drop their next project. This time choosing to go with a new model from Vans, the Bedford, which is part of the more fashion-forward OTW collection. These will be covered in two variations of denim material, sitting on top of a gray sole. Their popular red accents added to the branding, and leather inner lining add a nice contrast to the mostly denim shoe, and the white laces are a perfect choice to top it off with. Pictured here, you may notice the insole is black and white checkered, with In4mation branding, but as with all previous In4mation Vans, the shop branding has always been removed for one reason or another. We will patiently wait to see if this will carry over from the sample version! These will be limited to 300 pairs, exclusively through In4mation. Due to drop early January 2011.
