Continuing to pay homage to Vans‘ original Anaheim factory in California, Vault by Vans has returned with its latest collaboration. This time around, the premium footwear line has teamed up with Italian-based retailer, WP, on a set of three Authentic 44 DX colorways.

The WP x Vault By Vans Authentic 44 DX sees the skate leaning footwear model dressed in “Black,” “Blue,” and “Red” paisley takes. The canvas uppers of the shoe express a mix of paisley and patchwork paired with the original drill lining and white laces. Aside from the usual Vans tags and license plate badges at the rear, the shoe feature co-branding printed insoles. Finishing up the design of the collaboration are durable sole units with gum rubber waffle outsoles.

Take a look at the collaboration above and look for the WP x Vault By Vans Authentic 44 DX release to be available June 9 at select retailers.

After recently joining forces with JJJJound for a tasteful BAPE STA collaboration, streetwear stalwart BAPE is now trucking right along with another joint venture with the likes of Vans. The Japanese label and the Anaheim-based skateboarding company have reconnected for a second head-to-toe footwear and apparel assemblage.

The main attractions of this capsule lie within the footwear department. BAPE opts to rework the Sk8-Hi 38 DX and Old Skool 36 DX silhouettes with its signature camo patterns to create street-meets-skate balance. The former is done up in mismatching fashion and comes decorated with a custom ABC camp pattern, while the latter steers in the more classic direction by making use of BAPE signature green camo graphics. Each take is completed with a black midsole stripe, white midsoles and traditional waffle bottoms.

Two limited-edition tees are also implemented into the collection, both of which are styled with co-branded hits across the front and then imagery of the Sk8-His on the backside.

If you plan on copping then mark your calendars for February 26 as the collection will be released exclusively via Vans and BAPE retail stores, as well as through the Vans website.

 Vans has just announced that it’s taking it has just set up its newest House of Vans location in Mexico City. Like its Chicago and London locations, this newest establishment will also be a hub for all things creative and community-minded.

For most of May 2021, Vans has centered its focus on its collaborative projects and dropped capsules with the likes of Foot Patrol, SpongeBob Squarepants and C2H4. Just before the fifth month of the year winds down to a close, the Anaheim skate brand is reverting back to its inline lineage and pushing out this playful Vans Bandana Era colorway.

All-over patterns take center stage on these street-ready kicks. The entire upper half is ornamented with orange, yellow and pink tie dye patterns from front to back and complemented by black paisley patterns that run across the toe tips and just above the midsoles on the mid-foot. Accompanying these patterns are stark black skull silhouettes that also drop off throughout the entire base layer. Shoe laces and the rims of the insides are treated with a white complexion while the insoles opt to go with a simple black and white color-blocking. A strip of black borders just below the upper, and comes stacked atop an angelic midsole and the standard waffle treading to complete its design.

Parties who fancy these wild kicks can scoop them up right now over at HBX for a budget-friendly $66 USD.

Vans has once again looked into its archive for its latest Anaheim Factory collection. For the new release, the brand has focused on the Authentic 44 DX silhouette, preparing four Spring-ready colorways of the shoe in white, yellow, blue and “Emerald.”

All four shoes in the Spring 2021 collection feature a colorful canvas upper, with eye-catching details added to the sidewall. Inspired by original sidewall prints from previous Vans releases, the archive graphics feature references to action sports — such as “I’d Rather Be Skiing” or “I’d Rather Be Surfing” — as well as rainbows and multicolored cartoon hearts.
