sk8mid2

Here’s a release that snuck in at the last minute, and was first revealed at the “These Days” 10 Years of Vans Syndicate exhibition at the Known Gallery last month.  Hong Kong’s 8FIVE2 has teamed up with Vans Syndicate to release this amazing collection to commemorate their 15 year mark.  The overall aesthetic is straight out of a 1999 Polo ad, with rich navy, red, and yellow tones, something that 8FIVE2 founder Brian Siswojo is a big fan of, as well as a lot of us older Hip-Hop heads.  We’ve been hyped about these, and it’s nice to see them finally arrive to finish off this current Syndicate run, until they are back again.  Great job 8FIVE2!!!

Pick them up here on the 8FIVE2 webshop.

Vans x HLZBLZ – Sk8-Hi Reissue Zip “Come Together”

Dec 17 15 under Collaborations | Comments Off on Vans x HLZBLZ – Sk8-Hi Reissue Zip “Come Together”

00-VANS

Words via HLZBLZ:

“HLZBLZ is proud to present the third installment of collaborations with Vans, titled ‘Come Together’ in honor of the HLZBLZ 10 year anniversary. Serving as a celebration of the two brands and how close they’ve grown through the years as a result of three collaborations spanning five years and five different silhouettes, it’s no surprise the final shoe comes full circle in the form of the iconic Sk8-Hi.

The choice of silhouette is a nod to humble beginnings and budding friendships between brands while staying true to the edgy aesthetic via tonal black suede, leather and hand sprayed nylon. There’s also history behind the back zipper, a featured detail on the first HLZBLZ x Vans collaboration shoe, ‘The Hadley.’

Altogether, this collaboration is an homage to all that is, was and will be HLZBLZ & Vans. From shades of attitude to hints of class while tiptoeing the line, these two have never had a problem taking it all and making it come together.”

Words via Hypebeast:

“Iconic skate artist Jim Phillips has long been associated with Santa Cruz thanks to the brand’s ubiquitous Phillips-penned “Screaming Hand.” Now two classics are set to come together as the hand decorates the California-based brand’s new collaboration with Vans: a special edition Classic Slip-On. Decked out in black leather and canvas, the kicks see the motif repeated in blue around the heel as matching leather lines the shoe. The graphic even appears in oversized form, housed within the shoe’s icy outsole. Finished with matching custom packaging, the special “Screaming Hand” Slip-On will hit BEAMS T in Harajuku December 18 as the store celebrates the 30th anniversary of the graphic.”
