New Vans drops @ St. Alfred

I was checking out the St. Alfred site today, and noticed they had posted up some of their new Vans that came in, and I noticed a nice looking Switchback, in black leather, from the California collection.  Looks like they are part of the black leather pack, that also included the Authentic, and Sk8-Hi, that was shown last week.  I’ve also posted after the jump, the rest of their new stuff, which included the Inca Flower Sk8-Hi, as well as some other stuff that hasn’t been revealed before.

Brooks x Vans Vault Fall 2010 updated pics!

Listen up, all you bike riders!  The Vans Vault team, and English bike saddle maker Brooks, have gotten together for this premium collection.  Utilizing familiar leathers found on their premium bike seats, and bags, these Era’s are definitely one of a kind.  You can expect that these will definitely not be around for long.  Also word around town is that the saddle pictured below, will also be available at Vault dealers, but each store will only be getting a very limited amount.  These are due out later this year, and this is just a teaser shot from the Vault catalog.  Stay tuned, for more pics of the entire lineup in the near future!
