Vans OTW x Chris Kong – Alomar

Words via Highsnobiety:

“Vans OTW has teamed up with Hong Kong designer Chris Kong on a limited edition version of its Alomar mid top sneaker. Kong heads Garage Works Industries, known for its vinyl figures and toys, mostly in collaboration with well known contemporary artists. Years ago we have actually worked with Chris Kong on a special Highsnobiety version of their Ron English toy.”

Today we can give you a first preview of the collaborative sneaker that he created with Vans OTW. It comes in a striking red colorway with a thunder graphic embroidery on the side and a fading check pattern on the mid-sole.

Look out for a release soon and check out the video here above that was produced for the release of the sneaker.

Vans Presents: Bones Brigade: An Autobiography (Movie Trailer)

The highly anticipated autobiography of the Bones Brigade is coming to a theater near you hopefully, and Vans and famed documentary director, Stacy Peralta, have just dropped the video trailer for it.  After a collective effort from fans all over the world posting personal Bones Brigade photos from their personal collections on Instagram, the trailer was posted yesterday, after reaching their goal of 2,000 photos hashtagged with #bonesbrigade.  As an added bonus, you can download the most popular Bones Brigade skate video of all time… The Search For Animal Chin!  Download it here.

Foreword from Vans:

“It’s not a death metal band, an extreme diet club or historic dominoes association—the Bones Brigade was a talented gang of teenage outcasts. Unmotivated by fame or popularity, they completely dedicated their lives to a disrespected art form. For most of the 1980s, this misfit crew headed by a 1970s ex-skateboard champion blasted the industry with a mixture of art and raw talent becoming the most popular skateboarding team in history. The core unit of the Bones Brigade built an empire that covered the world. They dominated contests, made hundreds of thousands of dollars, created the modern skateboard video, reinvented endemic advertising, pushed skate progression into a new era, and set the stage for a totally new form of skating called street style. There’s nothing comparable in today’s skateboarding.”
