The official release date is finally here for the Vans x Skate Park of Tampa Sk8-Hi Pro.  Going with a more subtle approach than usual, SPoT’s shoe is comprised primarily of black suede, except for the rich blue nylon side panels featuring Russ Pope’s artwork.  There’s also a custom tongue tag featuring Pope’s rendition of the Skate Park of Tampa’s main logo on it, as well as custom removable PU footbeds.  These should make for a nice addition to your current Vans lineup.  Head on over to SPoT’s Facebook page for release info.

Vans x Haro Bikes – Capsule Collection (Summer 2013)

Highsnobiety-vans-supreme-timeline-011

Words via Hypebeast:

“Vans teams up with legendary cycling company Haro Bikes to produce a limited capsule. Though Vans is widely known for its skate-heavy heritage, the brand has also historically supported skating’s two-wheeled foils. Given Haro Bikes’ innovation – starting from one of the first mass-produced freestyle frames: The Haro Original Freestyler – this collaboration riffs on both brands’ extensive history of design and pioneering. As such, blue and green vintage-inspired racing stripes and checkerboards are the running motif throughout the collection, which includes: the Sk8-Hi, the Era (both pictured here), a range of T-shirts, and snap-closure hats. Enjoy a look the Haro x Vans collection, which releases July 15 at worldwide retailers.”

Words via Highsnobiety:

“Inspired by the design language of the “greatest skate shoe of all time,” skateboarding legend Steve Caballero’s newest Vans model is designed specifically for ultralight skate performance. Boasting an untouchable pedigree and numerous weight-reducing innovations, the Cab Lite is bound to create excitement with its exclusive Vans Pro Skate unveiling this spring.

Featuring a special Pro Vulc single-wrap construction along with Vans Ultracush Lite footbed technology, the Cab Lite modernizes the classic outsole design of the Half Cab but remains authentic with its Vans original waffle sole. Vans Pro Skate Lite footwear models are on average 30% lighter than traditional styles.”
