Although a group shot revealed exactly what was in store come the initial shipment of WTAPS x Vans Syndicate releases starting this month, detail shots were sparse. Here's a look into the upcoming Bash, set to release this June. WTAPS had complete control and direction for this latest Syndicate collection as the Bash fuses late 80s/early 90s hip hop culture with high end and street fashion. The colorways were chosen to represent the era with highlights including a revamped checkerboard pattern. Look for this to hit Tokyo's Blackflag in Aoyama this weekend.

Last month, a collection of Vans' upcoming Syndicate collaboration (post was subsequently removed) with WTAPS was revealed. Seen here is the third installment within this ongoing collection, the Rudeez was definitely worth the wait. The encapsulated rubber toecap features a wing-tip pattern with brogue details throughout. Although not the first instance of wing-tip meets sneaker, the extended rubber toecap in this form seems to be a first. Look for a 2008 fall release.

TET, the owner of infamous technical brand WTAPS gives us a peek at some new rainwear from his brand. Shifting away from Militaria and Biker themes, we see brightly colored raincoats, hinted to be of the poncho type. Technical specifications include GORE-TEX laminates, allowing for moisture expulsion but at the same time keeping wetness out. As always, detail and fabric technologies are key to TET, and graphic-wise, we see the familiar "Too Young To Die" skull logo silk screened on the back of the pieces, and on the lining of the jacket we see the double headed bird of prey logos .
