The masterminds behind last year’s memorable satin SK8-HI pack with Vans, Long Beach’s Proper have cooked up another stellar pack of Vans offerings for the holiday season. In an interview with leading sneaker magazine Sneaker Freaker, Proper’s owner Tristan Caruso shares some insight into the conceptual aspect of this nautical inspired pack which features the Native American (One-piece), Authentic Low and Chukka Del Barco LX, each available in two colorways. For this particular release, Proper has taken extra steps to create a special product including various little details working its way into the pack’s design such as thicker insoles and retro-style boxes. Caruso also weighs in on his thoughts regarding the current sneaker landscape with some interesting points of view in his discussion. Check the interview out over at SneakerFreaker.com.

    This is how sneakers should look in the year 2008. We’ve come a long way from the rainbow colour/all over print monstrosities of years past.
