crooks castles vans moda hi sneakers Crooks & Castles x Vans Moda Hi Sneakers

Vans hooks it up with a closer look into the upcoming collabo with Crooks & Castles. The kicks are part of the East vs. West Pack that will also feature the likes of Acapulco Gold. Each pack will feature a matching tee with the newly designed Moda Hi sneaker, a fusion of the SK8-Hi and Mountain Edition Hi. The new design still retains a retro flair with more progressive technical features. The luxurious looking kicks, sporting Epi Leather uppers, are set for a March 2010 release. Stay tuned for a closer look into the other models.

    As a Nike collector, I have to say Vans are the most comfortable shoes I’ve ever worn and the Half Cab is the best. This is even better. Great details and materials. Love the strap and cross-branding. You could wear these with a tux. ILL.

    Where can I get these… so sick.

  19. Posted by: dude on June 23, 2009 at 8:32 pm

    these are trash and all you guys are completely delusional or just uneducated. hope someday you get what you’re really looking for and not just another pair of crappy sneakers to add to your mountain of shit that means absolutely nothing in the grand scheme of the things.

    Quilted leather is nice. That patch looks like it should be on the tounge.

    Not a fan of the SK8 Hi toe box.

    Still 1000000% better than the last Vans x Crooks.

    I wonder where these are gonna drop, what kind of vans release?

  21. Posted by: gratefuldread on June 23, 2009 at 7:53 pm

    they looks like supra’s…terrible

  22. Posted by: NIneto5ive on June 23, 2009 at 6:47 pm

    The material is wonderful… can’t knock a nice thoughtout idea.

  27. Posted by: Boss Hogg on June 23, 2009 at 5:22 pm

    I knew they would come with some heat… Most kids don’t know that skate calendars are so far advanced then the Streetwear brands, they probably had this cooking early in the year?

    I love vans these are so fresh this is high fashion meets street! Def must cop although I wish they didn’t have the strap Nike sb should learn how the originators do this because this seasons vans have killed my shopping for nike sb’s this year I mean not a hard choice to choose premium material vans or some neon sb I see myself as more of a vans sneakerhead now selling off my dunks vans kills the collabs these days
