haven't been so into the halfcab series for a while now, but came across these and fell for them again. also available in an era model. available through select vans classic retailers.

vans store london.

went to london for the weekend with my better half and by chance we came across the vans store on 47 carnaby street. almost the same as in amsterdam on the 'negen straatjes', however this store had a collection of some collectors items. check out the carpet era's and the ones with the ladybugs. supersweet. not for sale unfortunately. will have to do with these pics. nevertheless, i managed to get my hands on a pair i've had my eyes on for a while and i'm superstocked to have them in my possession. you'll see them in my next post. until then, stay sophisticated, keep skating.

crossed off my list.

had them for a while now but didn't post them yet. managed to get the filson x vans vault 46 lx. made with filson’s trademark canvas and bridle leather, the collection fuses rich skate history with the great outdoors. now I just need the bag. posted before in my very first post this year. purchased at 290sqm. on sale. score.

hermes x robert verdi x vans = sweetness as a slip-on.

vans custom made these shoes for Robert Verdi, modeled after his personal collection of Hermés scarves. nice. with sugar and spice. and honey on the side. and cherries on top. ok enough. thanks nina and jorik.

another website selling vans.

came across this website while surfing. nice to see a shop selling vans in the EU. simple site selling lots of skate brands and clothing.

gentlevans.

i've managed to get my hands on these pair of indigo pritchard's. super comfortable sophisticated casual shoes with a classic vans sneaker feel. already posted in my previous post gentleman's vans., now purchased at jefferson hotel. 90 euro's.

vans for my fingers.

fucking love it when i come across these little things made by vans. even the insides of the soles have the recognizable vans stamp and of course the little iconic red vans label on the heels.

everything 3D? yes everything.

the first vans partner store is opening to the public today in montreal, with Vans occupying the 3rd floor of the current Off The Hook shop. the store will offer the largest selection of vans in canada, with over 1500 shoes in 160 styles as well as the opportunity to create and order custom shoes in-store, an option previously only available to online customers living in the U.S. outside, a two-story high qr code currently adorns the outside of the store.

to celebrate the grand opening, guests received a CAD-created 3D copy of the classic vans authentic shoe, made by consult design.
