When we first caught a sneak peek at the next set of Blends Vans to come our way, we were all stoked to see them use a new shoe for their iconic Bones catalog, with the Epoch or Style 73 as it was originally called. This silo has a very unique flying V logo that is exclusive to this shoe, and we’re sure Blends didn’t want to take away from that. Adding their unmistakable signature Bones styling to that flying V was the right move. Some might say “more bones???”, but we say “MORE BONES!!!”. We absolutely love these, and will be looking to double up if possible.
The shoe features hairy suede throughout, except for the marshmallow premium leather accents by way of the bones and the heel mustache. These feature marshmallow colored vulc soles, in the new Vault Originals shape, complete with glossy foxing tape, shrunken waffle grip, and that sexy, curvy sidewall! There’s minimal Blends branding on the heelpad, and the shoe comes with two pairs of laces, one being waxed marshmallow, and the other black standard. The Blends all-black drawer box and dustbag are also back for this release. We’ve taken a grip of photos, including a few in the alternate lace option. I could seriously go with either and be completely satisfied.
We’ve all been waiting for Blends to give us a release date, and I can confidently say these will be releasing in two weeks, on Saturday Feb. 29th, at all chapter stores as well as online. You’ve heard it here first!
