Making a bid for Vans release of the year, the “Drop Sneakers Not Bombs” campaign by skate retailer Active continues with design efforts by Taka Hayashi. Both the classic Half Cab and J-Lay Mid models get a premium make-over with a wild assortment of leathers and materials. Both tonal sneakers have finally launched on Active’s online store with a full size run available (8-12), leaving size 13 heads like me disappointed. Grab yours now!

    I hate being broke. This and the 11/12 pack are gonna slip right through my hands unless I get that seasonal job at Macy’s.

    I’m not crazy about this shoe, but it’s really annoying when they stop at size 12.
