Vans Vault Fall/Winter 2010 Chukka ‘Buckleback’ LX Brown

Earlier this month, we showed you the blue, and cream colorways of the Vault Chukka “Buckleback Pack“, and now new pics of the brown pair have shown up.  This pair features a tri-textured construction, which is different than the all-canvas makeup seen on the previous two pairs.  Premium leather is utilized on the toe area, a canvas-like material on the side panels, and suede on the heel, where the buckle is placed.  This Vans Vault Chukka Buckleback Brown will hit retailers in early August at select accounts.

Vans…Painted like Nikes (customs)

I saw these over on SoleCollector forums, and thought it was funny, unique, and somewhat clean enough to post up on here.  It’s so random, but I know you’ll all enjoy these.  These were done up by member: Granny Poonanie over on SC forums, and he even posted up a video on his work.  Check it out below:

New Vans drops @ St. Alfred

I was checking out the St. Alfred site today, and noticed they had posted up some of their new Vans that came in, and I noticed a nice looking Switchback, in black leather, from the California collection.  Looks like they are part of the black leather pack, that also included the Authentic, and Sk8-Hi, that was shown last week.  I’ve also posted after the jump, the rest of their new stuff, which included the Inca Flower Sk8-Hi, as well as some other stuff that hasn’t been revealed before.

SOPHNET. x Vans SK8-HI

SOPHNET. and Vans have teamed up to release this unique collaboration.  At first appearance, you might think that this is just your standard issue black Sk8-Hi, with white contrast stitching, but take a second look, and notice the inner zipper that has been added.  It’s all about the little details these days.  These should be available during the Fall/Winter season, but most likely just in Japan.

Unreleased Vans x Proper Authentic LX

Consignment shop CollectiveLTD just posted up these samples of a Proper x Authentic LX one-piece.  Very similar to the pair that released over a year ago, but done with a premium leather upper, with light blue foxing stripe.  Speculators think that these are an upcoming release, but would Proper want to do a release that was the same as their last?  Most brand collaborations tend to choose a different model than a prior one, but you never know.  What do you think?  They’re available for purchase via eBay here.
