Dimitri Coste is the latest Vans OTW advocate to get a signature model, choosing the Larkin as his model of choice.  He went with a primarily white model, with red-stripe on white wool uppers, white laces, and a white leather toe cap.  They sit on top of an all white cupsole, and feature Dimitri Coste’s name on the removable footbed.  Available soon at your local OTW dealer.

After a few teaser shots from the guys over at Primitive, we now get a full on look at the Half Cab and OTW Bedford that they have planned for Spring 2012.  Previewed at SLATE, some of the guys on the forum, who have a trained eye for Vans sneakers, knew right off the bat which models Primitive were working with, but now we have validation.  The Half Cab looks nothing like I had imagined, with the cable knit sweater collar and tongue, and metal fabricated Half Cab tag on the side , going for that preppy look, while the Bedford looks clean and on-point with the all over black denim and suede, and matching foxing stripe.  The brown pebbled leather tongue contrasts quite nicely with the mountain boot laces, and the overall look.  These are just samples, so don’t be surprised if the small details go away, but I’m hoping the metal tag on the Half Cabs stay!  What about you?

We’ve already known that Primitive was doing a double shoe release with Vans in the near future, but so far we’ve only been given teaser shots of the half cab.  Well, we’ve recently learned that the other shoe that they are working on is going to be a Bedford from the OTW line.  Sick!  For this shoe, they decided to go with a black suede, and black denim combo, and one of the most unique features we see, is the denim-wrapped foxing stripe.  Pretty unique, and definitely not seen before.  Thanks to Ron from Primitive, for giving us this teaser shot to share with you all!
