Classic Kicks x Vans Midschool 77
by Eugene Kan, September 3, 2008
New York’s Classic Kicks continues their Vans collaboration releases as they bring back the previously dead Midschool 77 model. After seeing the Midschool 77 on an old ad poster, the Classic Kicks team figured this served as a better approach rather then just going about things with a new print on an existing style. Two colorways Original Blue and Classic Kicks Red will release exclusively in the US at Classic Kicks on Saturday, September 6th at 12:00 pm with mail-orders starting on Monday, September 8th. Worldwide purveyors will include Patta, colette and Essense with a release date roughly correlating with the Classic Kicks release.
[...] After previewing a prior collaboration between Classic Kicks and the Vans Era, we get a look at yet another project involving the two. This time around, we get a look at the Midschool 77 available in original blue and Classic Kicks Red. These two styles are much cleaning and simpler as opposed to the bright multicolored Eras seen a few weeks ago, but both collections offer new spins on classic styles. Release is scheduled for Saturday, September 6th at 12:00 p.m at Classic Kicks and mail orders will be taken on Monday, September 8th. Other carriers include Patta, Colette, and Essense who will release the sneakers on Saturday as well. Via hb. [...]

[...] For colors, Classic Kicks went with the original blue color as well as added a historically consistent red. The materials used on the shoes are much closer to the original shoes than many of the remakes of other Vans shoes. The Classic Kicks x Vans Midschool ‘77 will go on sale Saturday, September 6th exclusively at Classic Kicks in the US for $80 per pair. Other shops across the globe receiving stock will be Patta of Amsterdam, collete of Paris, and essence of Yokohama. Pics and info thanks to Hype Beast. [...]
