Vans Forty-Four Hi “West Coast vs East Coast” Collection with Crooks & Castles and 5Boro
by L.A. Ruano, January 7, 2009

Alongside the release of their chronicled collaboration with Crooks & Castles, Vans unveils more Spring co-op colorways in their Fourty-Four Hi model. The collection will consist of a 5Boro edition representing the East Coast while Crooks hold down the West Side. Two other store collaborations are scheduled as well as a team rider Danny Wainwright signature colorway. From the looks of it, each shoe will feature an available matching t-shirt. Stay tuned for further updates in the coming weeks.

EAST COAST ALL DAY
Nah CROOKS all the WAY! Reppin the West
The grey ones are designed by the guy in Hospitality in Richmond, VA. The sole is a old map of the city of Richmond. Good stuff.
All 4 shoes are sick and I think this regional style release is something vans needs to re-vamp itself and build the hype that brands like Nike and Supra have stolen. I dont care what anyone says. Those joints are sick, I’m not from Cali at all, but living in Ohio, people don’t really get into Crooks all like that but if and when I get my hands on these…I’m bouta shut down the whole Midwest in these shits!
gotta hold it down for NY wit 5boro
the black with red laces are dope!
This is embarrassing.. 5boro def. represents east coast. sick. But, crooks and castles for the west coast? Are you serious? So corny.
