Vans "3 Feet High" Program

We’ve seen a few teasers of the Vans “3 Feet High” Program over the past couple of months, but now it’s time to get a proper introduction. It is a brand new Vans division, with distribution in only 3 boutiques nationwide, which happen to be the 3 brands involved in the program: KICKS/HI, HUF (SF), and DQM (NYC). Each shop will do their own take on classic Vans silhouettes. The first edition of monumental release will occur this Saturday March 17 with the Vans Chukka Boot. The Vans “3 Feet High: DQM” Chukka consists of a gingham patterned body, 3 lace options, an ingenius play on the famous “off the wall” Vans logo with “off the bone”, gumsole, and leather inner lining. The Vans “3 Feet High: HUF” Chukka features a tongue-in-cheek play on the snakeskin theme with one lace option stating “Even snakes are afraid of snakes.” Features also include a black leather snakeskin body, a lime green lace option, imprinted HUF lettering on the heel, and all white midsole/sole makes for an all around heater. The Vans “3 Feet High: KICKS/HI” Chukka is definitely the most colorful shoe of the bunch with lime green, grass green and shop orange. It also utilizes the most materials with a perforated leather toe, suede side panels, faux croc heel, and leather lining. If you make it out the release this Saturday March 17, a “3 Feet High” tee will be available in either white or black with the “3” front and center filled with the logos of KICKS/HI, HUF, and DQM.

Reebok Graphlite Pumps

Here’s a close look at Reebok’s Graphlite Pump release for the month of October. Although October is months away, Reebok is coming out with something a little different from one of their lesser known models. As you can see, this Graphlite model features a black/white/neon green/pink colorway with mesh material, and the ever popular pump feature on the tongue. There’s also a bit of checkered designs on the kicks to give it that retro look. Looks like October will be a fun month for Reebok with these kicks. Image: Crooked Tongues

Interactive Quiksilver Ads

Interactive Quiksilver Ads

Quiksilver takes advertising to a new level with their recent billboards in Copenhagen. One of their new ad spaces allow skaters to go on a Quiksilver mini ramp attached to a bus stop. And if that’s not enough, there’s also a Quiksilver billboard that has a rail attached to it for those who have the sudden itch to grind. For surfers, there is a bus stop with a surfboard bench with the whole stop containing a whole wave image. These are pretty creative and innovative ad ideas, wish there would be some of these in the US soon. Info: Style Department via Fubiz
