Vault-by-Vans-Wish-Fine-Whine-Olives-1

After seeing a teaser a few weeks back, Atlanta’s premier sneaker boutique and authorized Vault by Vans dealer, has released photos of their upcoming collaboration with Vans, dubbed the “Fine Wine And Olives” Pack. The theme is a juxtaposition of “luxury meets the Atlanta streets”, and there’s no lack of luxury on either of these pairs, that’s for sure. From the premium leathers in Rio Red and Dark Olive, to the terry cloth and corduroy linings, to the instantly recognizable cross-stitching that can be seen on both pairs. Each pair finishes off nicely with a tanned leather heel panel. These are quite simply beautiful!

The sk8-hi will be $120, and the slip-on, $85 respectively. Both will be available on November 13th, exclusively at Wish ATL.

Vans x CLOT – Alienegra Pack Sk8-Hi Zip & Slip-On (Fall/Winter 2015)

Oct 28 15 under Collaborations | Comments Off

Words via Hypebeast:

“Hong Kong mainstay CLOT is bringing back the “Alienegra” motif from its coveted Madsaki collabs, this time applying the design to two of Vans’ most popular silhouettes. Here, the cartoony, thorny design comes in a greyscale colorway, hitting the quarter panels of both the Sk8-Hi and Classic Slip-On as black suede accents, matching rubber toe bumpers and white rubber foxing complete the looks. Stay tuned for official release info and expect the two pairs to drop alongside a matching jacket and cap in the near future.”

Vans Japan x Deluxe – Old Skool Zip (Japan Exclusive!)

Oct 28 15 under Collaborations, Japan Only | Comments Off

deluxe-vans-zip-old-skool-001

Japanese luxury brand Deluxe has collaborated with Vans Japan in the past, and it looks like they’re back again with an interesting take on the Old Skool Zip. The first feature to stand out is the utilization of a water-resistant tape seam zipper, ready for the winter. The second unique feature that sets these apart from the norm, is the perforated jazz stripes. Deluxe went with a tonal black, and a tonal white colorway for this release, which seems to be all the rage this year. If you’re looking for a pair of these, then you better get your proxies in order.

With his first Syndicate project dating back in 2009, Schaaf’s influential persona is defined once again in the Mountain Edition 4Q “S”, a premium, heavy-duty mid-top, available worldwide this Saturday, October 17, marking the fourth release in celebration of Vans Syndicate’s 10th Anniversary.

Schaaf’s rugged aesthetic is emphasized in this reimagined silhouette, boasting military-grade leathers, enhanced design details inspired specifically by skateboarding, bikes and Schaaf’s hometown of Oakland, CA. The timeless style comes in an all-black, full grain leather construction.

Vans Vault x Sneakersnstuff – “London Pack” Sk8-Hi LX & Old Skool LX (10.17.15)

Oct 15 15 under Collaborations, Vault | Comments Off

via SNS:

“We are back with another collaborative project with Vans. The Sneakersnstuff x Vans ”London Pack” is our second Vault release with Vans and this time we decided to work on two classic silhouettes – the Old Skool LX and the SK8-Hi LX.

Since we opened up our store in Shoreditch we’ve had a bunch of near death experiences. Why you might think? Well, they do drive their cars on the ”wrong” side of the road! One thing we’ve learned is to look both right and left before walking over the street. You can’t be safe enough!

Both the Sneakersnstuff x Vans Old Skool LX ”London” and the Sneakersnstuff x Vans SK8-Hi LX ”London” are made in highland suede with a screen printed ”Look Left, Look Right” checkerboard pattern. Scotchgard™ Protector by 3M will keep you dry while walking the streets of London and both shoes comes with three sets of laces. The yellow and red accent colors comes from the single/double yellow lines and red routes on the roads in London.

For our first release we designed a skate deck that was given away to friends and family. Of course we will release a deck this time as well and we will release a few of them on our website on the release day.

The Sneakersnstuff x Vans ”London Pack” will be released in very limited numbers October 17th as part of the Vans Vault program. This is a Sneakersnstuff worldwide exlcusive that will be available at all Sneakersnstuff locations and online at Sneakersnstuff.com.”

“Vans’ Vault line has come together with outdoor specialists The North Face for a functional range of footwear and apparel ideal for the colder months. Utilizing Vans’ iconic footwear designs and The North Face’s technical expertise, this seven-piece collection is comprised by a trio of collaborative colorways of the timeless Sk8-Hi MTE LX and Desert Chukka MTE LX silhouettes, and a limited edition rendering of the staple Nuptse jacket. The footwear designs have been reconstructed with various functional elements including gusseted tongues, reversed waffle lug outsoles, heat retention technologies, The North Face’s slip-resistant winterGRIP® and weatherized leather/suede uppers, with embossed TNF branding and Vans’ trademark heel scab marker rounding out the design. The winter garment retains all the water-repellant and insulation technologies but is emblazoned with a checkerboard pattern that the skate company has become synonymous with over the years. Priced between $120 USD and $300 USD, purchase the Vault by Vans x The North Face collection at select boutiques starting October 31.”
