Vans Syndicate 025.156 x Neil Blender – Authentic Pro “S” & Chukka Low WC “S” (Available Now @silostore !)

BLENDER-PACK

Info via Silo:

“PROJECT BRIEFING: NEIL BLENDER PACK

If there is anything at all cool or interesting about skateboarding it’s due more to the influence of Neil Blender than any other single person. Period. And so we are very honored to have had the privilege to work with Neil on two Syndicate styles this season. The Authentic Pro “S” featuring original Blender artwork, and the Chukka Low WC “S”, featuring Vans WAFFLECUP™ outsole construction for an all new take on a Vans Pro Skate staple.”

 

This is the first time we’ve seen the Waffle Cup on a Chukka Lo, so if you guys have any opinions about it, let us know on the forums.  The Authentic Pro “S” has a nice hue of grey on it, and they should do quite well.  The Neil Blender Turtle bobblehead that comes with each pair is also a nice surprise!  Go cop now on Silostore!

Vans-Re-Releases-Band-Collaboration-Sneakers-at-SXSW-03

Remember 2 years ago, when Nicekicks coordinated a highly limited re-release of four sought after band collaboration shoes that were thought to be long gone?  Well, it looks like Vans will be taking the reigns this year on that same idea, this time re-releasing another four models that have been gone for awhile, other than eBay.  Check out the info via Highsnobiety below:

Vans Vault x Taka Hayashi – Court Lo and Hi LX (Spring 2014)

Taka-Hayashi-x-Vans-Vault-Spring-2014-Collection-03

Here’s another model from the Vans Vault x Taka Hayashi Spring 2014 collection.  Both will feature Loden Green colored suede, and the Court Lo will come to us in a Batik Camo version, while the Court Hi received a Pixel Camo pattern.  Both feature that unique vulcanized sole that Taka designed for the Court model, which if you stare at long enough, start to look like some big ‘ol teeth on the front, haha!  Needless to say, both of these are looking proper.

Vans Vault x Taka Hayashi – TH Sk8-Mid LX “Chimayo” (Spring 2014)

taka-hayashi-x-vans-vault-2014-spring-chimayo-pack-1

The Spring will soon be upon us, and with that comes the next seasonal offerings from Vans Vault.  Our favorite designer, Taka Hayashi has created some bangers for the Spring ’14 collection, and what could be better than a light dusting of Taka flavor, on some familiar classic models?  This time, Taka took the Sk8-Mid and made it his own by wrapping the shoe in premium suede, and the side panels in Chimayo fabric, named after the native Navajo and Spanish people who created these patterns, who lived in Chimayo, just north of Santa Fe, New Mexico.  Other than the unique fabric choice, the foxing rubber has been given a subtle update to the toe bumper, slightly wrapping up over the front of the toe.  These details on an already recognizable silhouette contribute to that “where’d you get those” factor, and will have many Vans fans hitting you up.  These finish off nicely with square leather laces.  Look for these to go fast, at your local Vault dealer in March, and definitely NOT ON THE VANS WEBSTORE.
