This is just a reminder to our readers that the latest Supreme x Vans Half-Cab and Chukka models will go on sale on the Supreme webshop today at 11AM EST. They have been selling quickly at the stores in NY and LA, so be sure to snatch them up quickly before they sell out online.
Before the inception of a legitimate Half-Cab from Vans, there existed the Vans Caballero. However for many, the full high-top vulcanized skate shoe left many unsatisfied with the restrictive cut… off the tops came in a DIY hackjob. This eventually prompted Vans to create the lower-cut version, Half-Cab which has become a popular seller from Vans. However, this fall will see the return of the high-top Caballero starting August 1st. Suggested price is listed at $80 USD.

For this latest installment of the WTAPS x Vans Syndicate series, the Japanese brand has created three distinct styles each reflective of various cultures and time periods. The Rudeez was inspired by vintage dress shoes, the Greaserz looks at 70s blue collar culture and the Bash is inspired by hip-hop culture as well as Spike Lee movies. For releases, it will begin in June with the Bash and end in August with the Rudeez.

At the root of any Vans and Supreme collaboration is the quintessential pairings of two of the skate world’s most iconic brands. Regardless of the affixed Supreme tag to this collaboration effort, no doubt the sheer simplicity on well-liked mid-cut models like the Chukka and Half-Cab will make for yet another hyped up release. The detailing on each model comes in the form of brogue punch trim on a solid suede upper. American Supreme flagship stores will release these on May 22nd while Supreme’s Japanese counterparts will release two days later on the 24th. Online sales will commence (Domestic USA shipping only) on May 23rd.
Extensive look at each sneaker, after the jump.
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.

With the use of polka dots manifesting itself in numerous applications over the last few seasons, Vans Vault have taken it upon themselves to utilize the pattern on their latest pack of shoes titled Melissa. The black uppers of the SK8-HI and Slip-On are both done up in white polka dots. Although not pictured here, the collection also boasts the Prison Issue #23 and the Era. Look for these at select Vans Vault dealers.
Always thinking ahead since the beginning of the Vault campaign, Vans is constantly striving for a great quality product remaining quite consistent even throughout their odd combinations of material’s and colorway’s. Included in the Grey Stone pack will be a Sk8-LX, Era LX, and Slip-on LX, all employing a blue cotton like upper to these multifaceted models. Expect the pack to hit Vans Vault dealers in late May.
Vans pays homage to LA Punk group the Germs in the most recent showing of Vans’ upcoming Band Shoe pack. This time around the Vans Old Skool and Slip-On are reproduced in The Germs black/blue color. The large toebox on the Slip-On is put to good use bearing The Germs art work while the Old Skool is a little more subdued with fewer references to a band featuring the likes of Belinda Carlisle and Pat Smear before they moved onto other gigs. Look for these to release fall of 2008.
