Here we present an exclusive look into the second part of Vans’ upcoming East vs. West Pack, which will feature design efforts from Los Angeles-based Crooks & Castles and New York natives Acapulco Gold. This latest installment finds AG working on a pair of the newly developed Moda Hi model, fusing the classic SK8-Hi and more fashion-forward Mountain Edition Hi. The kicks boast a mix of suede and leather uppers on a clean white/green colorway, with various Acapulco Gold details throughout. A release is scheduled for March 2010.

    These are some pretty clean shoes. I think I’m looking forward to the Crooks & Castles Moda Hi but these are pretty nice as well. Hopefully some spots in Canada will get them like Livestock.

    Nice work guys. I saw the cads for this collab about 6 months ago. Seeing it sampled, It looks even better than I imagined. Hopefully I can get my hands on a pair, or even better a size run for the shop!!! Keep up the good work!

    Vans look better when the midsole is a little dirty. Especially when you maybe, I don’t know, actually skate them! Just a thought.

    dope indeed but hating the white midsole. i swear vans are worse than AF1’s. that midsole scuffs too easy. 2 or 3 wears and they are done.

    Not creative at all… basically the mountain edition w/ the strap moved up.
