These are dope! Well, they WERE dope. Just wanted to share these with y’all. Would you believe someone’s actually selling them on eBay? Man, people have some weird fetishes!
These are finally available from Silo! Don’t sleep on the Syndicate renditions of your favorite classics! The Old Skool Pro “S” is available in Black, or Navy, for $65, and the Sk8-Hi Pro “S” will be $70 in the same colors. Such a great shoe!
“To herald the 35th anniversary of the iconic “Jazz Stripe”, Syndicate revamped the most enduring colorways of Vans Old Skool’s by putting them on the Pro Classics spec with DURACAP® reinforcement in high abrasion areas, plus co-molded PU sockliners, durable suede replacing canvas underlays, and moisture-wicking, temperature-management DRi-LEX® lining for a functionally new take on these classic, early era styles that withstand the performance challenges set by today’s professional skateboarders.”

This latest collaboration between Vans Syndicate and Carhartt – WIP (Work In Progress) has the Vans community going nuts. With their damn near European exclusivity, and alignment with the Vans “S” group, these are on their way to being one of the best Vans sneakers of 2012. Being that OTWS is truly worldwide, with like-minded fanatics hunting down their favorite Vans, it was only a matter of time until one of our international members posted up that they got their pair(s). We can almost always guarantee that our Netherlands brother, Erwin, will be on to contribute. He was somehow able to source the Camo, and the Natural (white) pair, and now that the website has worked out their issues, he may be ordering the black from there as well. Sorry, still no shipping to the USA! You can really make out the material details, and the quality of the leather, twill and corduroy materials. The details are just as good as any prior Vans x Carhartt release. If you’re like most of us, and are trying desperately to source a pair, then keep your eyes and ears open on our forum, as we may have a member who comes across the info and is willing to share it. Thanks for the pics Erwin!

OK, so I was debating if I should post these up or not, but after all the hypeblogs out there started dropping the info, we had to do it. I mean, you all come here when you want the real deal Vans info, right? Truth be told, we’ve known about this release for about half a year now, but the buzz started to build about a week or two ago when word started to trickle in that these were coming very soon. Well, official info on the Vans Syndicate x Carhartt Old Skool has hit the Carhartt blog, and the due date is tomorrow, the 24th. There’s just one major issue, though. These are only being sold through the Carhartt-WIP retail stores, and while there’s many all over Europe, there’s one in the USA, in New York, and I don’t believe that this release is making it to that location. We can’t confirm it yet, because their phone is jacked up! We’re busy trying to line up proxy’s to get these damn things at the moment! More info on the shoes after the jump.

To herald the 35th anniversary of the iconic “Jazz Stripe”, Syndicate revamped the most enduring colorways of Vans Old Skools and Sk8-Hi’s by putting them on the Pro Classics spec with DURACAP reinforcement in high abrasion areas, plus co-molded PU sockliners, durable suede replacing canvas underlays, and moisture-wicking, temperature-management DRI-LEX lining for a functionally new take on these classic, early era styles that withstand the performance challenges set by today’s professional skateboarders.
These will be available in September at local Syndicate dealers, as well as online at shops like Silo.
I have to give a big shout out to LV_1790 on our OTWS forums, for giving us the heads up on this awesome upcoming Vans Syndicate collaboration with Hong Kong’s OG skateshop 8FIVE2. They chose to go with a Zero Lo “S” this time around, in an all black colorway, but with a few blue accents, primarily the laces. They’ve also incorporated their signature floral print on the footbed of the shoe, and the ollie pad looks to be blue, underneath the black outer layer, so that when you skate in these, you’ll expose the blue color over time, but that’s just an assumption. As more news becomes available, we’ll be sure to share it with y’all!
OTWS OG Tom, has been the go to guy when it comes to getting your real-world sneaker reviews, and thankfully he collects Vans Syndicates, so we could share his informative videos with y’all. Follow him @samcolt12 everywhere, on his website www.samcolt12.com, and check out his vids on 3TVID.

Without any official release info yet, we just got word from UNIV, via their Twitter, that they’ve received their next Vans Syndicate release, not scheduled to be out until next month we thought, which include a Rowley SPV “S”, and a Mid Skool “S” Alva edition, which may or may not be designed by the legend, himself. Sorry for the lack of info, but as it comes out, we’ll be sure to re-introduce these properly. If you can’t wait for your local spot to get these, then hit up UNIV for these!
