Brooks England x Vans Vault 2010 Fall Collection

[luisnskates]

Didn't notice a topic for these so I though I'd start one. You're probably already seen these.

"Brooks England give us a great look into their new collaboration alongside Vans Vault. Following up the teaser from a couple of months back, we now get an official look into the collection. Featured will be a pair of limited edition sneakers (1000 produced) alongside a beautifully crafted saddle, made in a 500 unit limited run. Both will become available starting November 2010 through select Vans Vault retail accounts and Brooks dealers of excellence. Take a closer look into the project below." via hypebeast

I was iffy on those, but now its official, I GOTTA HAVE IT!

Classy!
I'd swap the laces though, I hate those thin, round laces.

Don't care much for the shoes, but that saddle is nutts.

[DJGuamstyles]

This is a pretty dope release. I wonder if 1000 pairs is actually low for Vault, or is that like production numbers for Syndicate, hehe?

[FTHATIMFAMOUS]

I always wondered that too.

[kicked]

that skull thing is trippy. stared at for like 5 minutes.

[FTHATIMFAMOUS]

Yeah, it super sick, so much detail. I can't wait to see them in person.

That saddle is on my want list... don't know about the shoes.

[DJGuamstyles]

Those shoes are on my want list... don't know about the saddle.

If you havent seen the tongue it is so sick! I think that the copper ads just the right amount of touch to make this shoe pop just enough. A definite must have for any Vans collector! If I actually rode bicycles I would consider buying the saddle but after seeing how much the Filson Rucksack was (copped for $212) this isn't gonna be cheap.

I do agree that it could use different laces. Hope it comes with replacements

[FTHATIMFAMOUS]

I knew that tounge would be sick! I cant wait to see them in person, I like the way the round thin laces look, I just cant keep them tied, I love the velcro strap on the tounge on the Velocita, it keeps the laces tied! Any tips to help keep my shoes tied?

[wolfstrice09]

Idk I just switch them out for the same color of normal laces. I got the spectator in black and white with the white round laces and it KEPT coming undone. I tried double knotting it and it still came undone so I put the extra white laces that came with my LVELs and it still looks good.

PS. I love the Velocita!! got the blacks. which ones you get?

[5150marley]

Whoa I didnt see the tongue... I might have to get these.

And I bet they will fetch a tidy sum...

Brooks saddles are not cheap to start with so I can only imagine a limited release.

I would say they shoe/saddle combo will be at least 300 USD.

[wolfstrice09]

yeah I myself wont cop the saddle but I most definitely going to snag a pair of these! the box is sick too!!!
