Vans Sk8-Hi ‘Suede Pack’

Vans Sk8 Hi Suede Pack

Vans just showed off a black suede and blue canvas ‘Two Tone’ pack for spring, and they could have just as easily applied that name to this latest trio of releases on their most famous hightop silhouette.  The Vans Sk8-Hi trio pictured above opts for the equally inert label ‘Suede Pack’ instead, even for one pair that looks like it was borrowed from the aforementioned set to equal out both packs’ numbers.  Brown/black and gold/black leave the overall feel of these more similar to an autumnal release than something slated for spring, but we expect them at retail before the end of March.  Have a look at all three below and stick with Sneaker News for updates on the latest Vans releases.  via FNG

VANS Sk8 Hi Boat CA

The onslaught of new releases at the Vans DQM General shows no sign of letting up. The latest entrant into the Spring 2012 lineup is this fantastic Vans Sk8-Hi Boat CA from the brand’s California imprint. The shoe is essentially an amalgam of the Vans core classic Sk8-Hi with a traditional boat shoe, which in this case means the addition of a moc-toe detail, leather laces and canvas quarter construction with suede at the vamp and eyestays. A brown leather pull tab and textile polka dot lining round out the features. Available in navy or white colorways, the Sk8-Hi Boat CA is in stock now at the , both in-store and online.

Vans 2012 Spring LP Zapato Gore CA

Vans 2012 Spring LP Zapato Gore CA

As the Vans California Collection Spring 2012 range begins to make its way to appropriated accounts, we see new colorways of the LP Zapato Gore CA. The shoe embodies a clear connection to the brand’s Zapato Del Barco silhouette, as it highlights here a predominantly canvas upper, matched with perforated suede at the collar and a contrasting patch of leather at the heel. Available in an Ash or a black option, you can purchase either today through New York’s DQM for VANS for $70 USD.

Vans California Fall 2012 Split Seam Chukkas

vans california fall 2012 split seam sneakers-1

After the Duck sneaker, another highlight of the Vans California Fall 2012 collection is once again a model that tries something new (for Vans anyway) on the toe boe. This style remixes the Vans 106 or Chukka Low, splitting the seam right down the centre for something along the lines of a Clarks Desert Trek. Rough out suede makes way for a leather heel patch, done in a contrasting color. Hitting this fall.

Beauty & Youth x VANS Leopard Slip On

Beauty & Youth x VANS Leopard Slip On

Aside from their own line of products and retail stores, Japanese fashion giant Beauty & Youth is known for instigating high profile collaboration projects. Their latest partnership is with the Californian brand VANS, who have produced an exclusive pair of Leopard Slip On for the ladies. As animal prints are doing many rounds in the recent seasons, here is the version from Beauty & Youth, utilizing leopard printed suede leather material. The smooth leather wraps around the whole sneaker, balanced by cream colored soles and interior. Beige colored VANS flag tag and dual brand logos on the footbed finishes off the footwear nicely. Unfortunately these have already sold out on the Beauty & Youth online shop, but they may still be available in their retail stores in Japan, so it might be best to reach out to your Japanese contacts.

Vans Classics ‘Two Tone’ Pack

Vans Classics Two Tone Pack

Before Supra started nicknaming every trio of themed sneaker designs they released last summer, there was another massively popular skate brand that utilized this technique.  In that way as well as the designs and colors being utilized, the Vans Classics ‘Two Tone’ Pack hearkens to the past, and there’s even the tiniest bit of Magic in these vaguely Orlando-like releases for this NBA All-Star month.  But once you strip away all the unnecessary connections, you’re back to black and blue atop a white waffle sole, a look that’s replicated across the Vans Half Cab, Era and 106 Vulc.  Click through to see all three and stick with Sneaker News for updates.  via FNG

Vans Fall/Winter 2012 Footwear Preview

Vans Fall/Winter 2012 Footwear Preview

With a company whose tagline is ‘Off the Wall’, you come to expect the unexpected, so what will Vans have in store for its fans for the second half of this year?  The dominant theme appears to be all-over prints, as we see a variety of the original skate brand’s staple models cast in graphically intense new colorways.  The patterns range from a cracked earth-over-camo look that gives you one of those “Why didn’t I think of that?!” moments to a traditional Hawaiian floral look and a few of Vans’ favorite Native American styles sprinkled in for good measure.  You can see this variety of Vans Sk8-His, Eras, Slip-Ons and all your other favorites in additional images after the jump, and stick with Sneaker News for updates as they drop later in the year.  via HB
