With slim silhouettes at a pinnacle for popularity, Vans has enjoyed a great deal of success. Their classic profiles have been as relevant as ever with a solid release set for 2008 fall collection. A mixture of both bold patterns characteristic of the DIY days of Vans when your own choice of materials could be applied as well as solid colored offerings are on hand. Despite the usual releases on hand here like SK8-HIs, Eras, Slip-Ons etc, look for more original releases to pop up soon into the Vans roster. Available now for pre-order at ripe.
Off the beaten Vans path of Half-Cabs, Chukkas, Eras, Authentics and SK8-HIs emerge these lesser seen models from the historic Vans skate brand. The whole collection of footwear seen here feature some muted colorways on some lesser seen models such as the Cojo, Half Crepe and Sea Captain. On the whole, these are a distinct step away from the classic skate shoe aesthetic into arguably a more refined look. Available now at ripe.
Much like the Syndicate series, the Vans Vault series has gained notoriety as Vans’ launching point for some the brand’s more liberal aesthetics. 2008’s fall collection yields much of the same as select team-ups are complimented by the use of materials often seen as a rarity on Vans. One of the more interesting concepts are the use of checker dyed pony hair uppers. Look for these to start relaeasing later this summer at select Vans Vault dealers.
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.

These Vans Sk8-His are a result of a collaboration between Vans and Niagara, a Detroit based artist and musician. A founding member of the proto-punk band Destroy All Monsters, she has of late risen to notoriety through her artwork. A cynical mix of Lichtenstein style comic strip women & riot girl attitudes, her pieces are highly sought after in the Lowbrow art scene. The Sk8-Hi model juxtaposes a subtle black color scheme with splashes of bright yellow and red mixed in with artwork depicting martini glasses and glass bottles. Sure to be an attention grabbing release, these have already released at DQM.
With the fixed gear scene increasing with more riders day in, day out, quintessential skate brand Vans has stepped in to offer bike riders their own little niche sneaker. On the surface, the 45LX seems very similar to Vans’ current Era/Authentic styles, however minute details along with a saddle bag would speak otherwise to the legion of riders out there. The details include 3M highlights on the laces and marquee heel logo. However, the unassuming details will definitely come across as a genuine effort for the fledging fixed gear market. No word yet on a release date.
