Back in December, Coarsetoys released a 1:3 Butchers Block Berlin Edition for the opening of the Vans store in Berlin. The figure was much sought after but was only available at the Vans store. Luckily, those looking for this figure might have another stab at getting it. This upcoming release dubbed “Flake” Pain Edition will site 25 inches tall and will come in a wooden box. We’re guessing that these will be quite limited as you can only get this figure at the Vans stores in London, Berlin, Paris, Barcelona and Utrecht. Collectors from the States will also be able to get one at Rotofugi and MunkyKing. “Flake” will retail for $320 USD and will be released near the end of January.

Vans has teamed up with the artist SheOne and brand Addict for a very beautiful collaboration sneaker. Using the Vans SK8-Hi model as the canvas, SheOne has amazingly turned a normal skate shoe into a piece of artwork. The colorway choice for this shoe is great as well. Even though a eye catching red is used, this shoe remains very elegant and most importantly, wearable. Hopefully we’ll have more information soon but we’re definitely looking forward to this release.
